Frequently Asked Questions

Dynalinks is a service that allows you to create dynamic links for your app. Dynamic links are a technology that enables you to send users to specific locations within your app, based on the context of the link they clicked. For example, if you receive a link to your app from a friend, you will be redirected to your app if you have it installed on your device. If you don't have the app installed, you will be redirected to your app's website.

Firebase Dynamic Links was discontinued in 2025. If you are seeking a straightforward service for creating dynamic links for your app, Dynalinks is the perfect solution for you.

The link will have the format {chosen-subdomain}.dynalinks.app/{chosen-path}. We also support custom domains on the pro plan.

First, you sign up and set up your project by choosing its name and subdomain. Then you register your app by providing its platform and package name or bundle identifier. Finally, you create a link by providing the path, query parameters, and information about which app it should open.
