Universal links (also known as deep links) allow a Branded App to automatically open and navigate to the correct screen when a user taps a link from email, text messages, other apps, or a mobile web browser.
Kajabi's Branded App fully supports universal links for a wide range of Community, Course, and Product experiences. The following sections describe which deep links are supported and how to enable Associated Domains to ensure the app can use Universal Links.

Use universal links in Email Campaigns (iOS)
If you have a Branded Mobile App and include universal links in your Kajabi Email Campaigns, those links may open in Safari on iOS instead of deep-linking directly into your app. This breaks the experience for your members.
Follow the steps below to disable Kajabi’s click tracking and allow iOS to handle the link as a true universal link and open it in your Branded Mobile App.
Important: This workaround applies only to Heroes with a Branded Mobile App who include universal links in Email Campaigns and it only affects iOS.
Applying disable-tracking="true" will disable click tracking for any link where it is used.
Add disable-tracking to a link in an Email Campaign
Open the Marketing tab and click Email Campaigns from the Dashboard.
Select the email you would like to edit.
Navigate to the email’s text field.
Click the Source Code button inside the toolbar.
Locate the \<a> tag for the universal link. It will look similar to:
text <a href="https://yoursite.com/your-link">Link text</a>Add disable-tracking="true" inside the \<a> tag, like this:
text <a href="https://yoursite.com/your-link" disable-tracking="true">Link text</a>Click Ok to save your changes.
Enable universal links for an Android Branded App
There are no additional steps required to support universal links in an Android Branded App. You just need to make sure the app is on the latest version.
