Know who brought each new user

A referral link is any link that says who shared it. Make one for a creator or a partner in the dashboard, add your own id for the person to any address, or let the app make personal invite links, and every click, install and in-app event that follows is credited to them. The app receives the id on first launch, so you can reward the person who invited.

How it works

  1. 01

    Say who shared it

    Make a referral link on the Referrals page, add ?dl2_ref=user_8812 to any link, or call createLink with a referrer in the SDK.

  2. 02

    The tap and the install carry it

    The click is recorded with the id, and so is the install it leads to, including after a fresh install from the store.

  3. 03

    The app is told

    The link your app receives has referrer set, and isFirstOpen says this is a new install.

  4. 04

    You see the results

    The Referrals page lists each person with clicks, new installs, events and revenue, and the installs behind each number.

What is included

  • Works with every link, on every plan: a short link of each person’s own, with its own QR code and stats, or your existing links with their id added.
  • Pause a person to stop crediting them while their links keep working, or turn all their links off at once.
  • Each install shows how it was matched: exact (Play install referrer or clipboard) or estimated.
  • The id in the link.clicked, app.installed, app.opened and app.event webhooks, the data export, the REST API and CSV files.
  • A note for each person, search by id or note, and any date range.

Where it stops

  • It credits; it does not pay. Rewards, codes and fraud rules stay in your own backend.
  • Estimated iOS matches can be wrong. Before paying a reward, prefer exact matches or check the sign-up in your own records.
  • Use your own opaque id for the person, not an email address or a name: it appears in the link.
  • Native iOS, Android and Flutter SDKs with referrer are not yet published; the web and React Native SDKs have it.
