Let’s be honest: getting users to the right screen is harder than it should be.
Whether you're sending out onboarding emails, launching a beta, or kicking off a campaign — routing users to the right platform (web, iOS, Android) and getting them signed in without friction takes work. It often means juggling tools, custom code, or paying for another service entirely just to make “one link” behave smartly.
That’s why we built Rownd Smart Links.
One link. Every platform. Seamless experience.
Smart Links make it easy to:
Route users to different destinations based on their device
Deep link directly into your product
Guide users through onboarding or sign-in flows
Launch marketing campaigns without having to build extra infrastructure
Whether you’re sending people to a web dashboard, an iOS app, or a specific screen in Android, Smart Links know where to go.
Built for growth — not overhead.
Smart Links aren’t just flexible — they’re cost-effective.
With other tools, you might:
Pay for link routing or click tracking
Hack together deep links with Firebase or Branch
Maintain custom logic just to get users into the right spot
With Rownd, Smart Links are built in. They’re part of the same system that powers your sign-in, onboarding, and user personalization — so you can cut the extra tools and move faster.
How it works:
When you create a Smart Link in Rownd, you’ll:
Set a default destination — where the link should go if the platform can’t be detected.
(Optional) Add platform-specific destinations for:
Web
iOS
Android
When someone clicks the link, Rownd automatically detects their platform and routes them accordingly — no extra work required.
Smart Links also integrate directly with Rownd’s authentication, so users can:
Land where they need to be
Get signed in (only when it makes sense)
Continue the flow without interruption
