Email tracking · Business

Track the emails you send, too

Business adds open and click tracking for email. Build a campaign and every recipient gets their own tracked email, so you see who opened and who clicked, per person — clicks reliable, opens an honest estimate, because some mail apps load images automatically and others block them. Paste each finished email into Gmail or Outlook, or connect your own mailbox and send them from your address; nothing sends from our servers, and recipient addresses are stored only as a hash.

How does directinapp open the app instead of the browser?

What happens if the app isn't installed?

The same link opens the regular web page instead, so no visitor ever hits a dead end. directinapp checks the device at the moment of the tap: if the destination app is present, the link hands off to it; if not, it falls back to the normal website — or, for app-first destinations, to the App Store or Play Store. You get the best of both worlds from a single URL — people with the app land in the native experience where they're already signed in, and everyone else still reaches your content on the web. You never have to publish two different links or guess which one a visitor needs, and because the fallback is built into the link itself, it keeps working as visitors switch devices, browsers, or apps. That reliability is the whole point: the click was already earned, so the link's only job is to make sure it lands somewhere usable.

How is a deep link different from a normal link shortener?

A plain URL shortener only makes the link shorter. It still opens in the in-app browser, ships no QR code, and gives you a single click count at best — so you save characters but lose the visitor to a logged-out webview. directinapp is built for where links are actually tapped: on a phone, inside another app. Every link opens the native app when it's installed, carries a downloadable QR code, and reports real-time analytics — clicks, referrers, devices, and countries — the moment taps happen. It also gives you a link-in-bio page and controls a plain shortener doesn't: password protection, expiry dates, and click caps. In short, a normal shortener optimises the string; a smart deep link optimises the destination, so the tap turns into a follow, install, or sale instead of a bounce:

Which apps do directinapp links open?

Any URL works. directinapp has dedicated handling for the platforms people share most — Instagram, YouTube, WhatsApp, Amazon, Flipkart, Google Maps, Spotify, LinkedIn, Facebook, Telegram, Pinterest and more — so a link to a reel, video, product, location or track opens in that app rather than a webview. For anything without a dedicated route, the link still shortens cleanly, carries a QR code, and tracks every click.

Who uses deep links, and when?

Creators put one in their Instagram or YouTube bio so a tap opens the app they want followers signed into. Online sellers shorten long marketplace links for WhatsApp and status broadcasts, where the app-open means “Add to cart” actually works. Marketers use the real-time analytics to see which channel drove taps, and swap a link's destination without reprinting a QR code. The common thread: the click was already earned — deep linking makes sure it lands somewhere the visitor can act.
