Create your first smart link

A smart link is a single short URL (like oh-links.com/abc123) that decides at click-time where to send each visitor: the iOS App Store on iPhones, Google Play on Android, your website on desktop. You only share one link, OhLinks does the routing.

What you'll need

Your iOS App Store URL — looks like https://apps.apple.com/us/app/your-app/id1234567890
Your Google Play URL — looks like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yourcompany.yourapp
A web fallback URL — any URL to send desktop visitors to (your marketing page, the App Store, anything)

Steps

Sign in to your dashboard at oh-links.com/dashboard.
Click "+ New link" in the top right.
Paste your three URLs into the form:
- iOS App Store URL → https://apps.apple.com/...
- Google Play URL → https://play.google.com/...
- Web fallback URL → any URL
(Optional) Give it a title so you recognize it later in your dashboard.
Click Create.

You'll land back on your dashboard with the new link at the top. Copy the short URL and share it — Twitter, email, ad campaigns, QR codes on physical posters, anywhere.

What happens when someone clicks

Visitor's device	Where we send them
iPhone / iPad	App Store (or directly into your app — see Deep linking)
Android phone	Google Play (or directly into your app)
Desktop browser	Your web fallback URL
A link-preview crawler (Slack, Twitter)	A branded preview card — see Social preview cards

UTM parameters pass through

If you share oh-links.com/abc123?utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=launch, those utm_* params are appended to the destination URL automatically. No extra setup.

Edit or delete a link

From your dashboard, click any row to open the Edit page. Change the URLs, the title, add geo overrides, or delete the link entirely. Edits take effect within seconds (we cache resolutions in Redis with active invalidation on edit).

Next steps

Set up deep linking so installed apps open directly instead of bouncing through the store.
Add a custom short domain like get.yourapp.com.
