New on Apptrove: Smarter Web-to-App Journeys with Smart Script

If your app marketing strategy begins with the web and finishes in the app store, you can easily lose attribution, mislabel users, or lose track of valuable insights. That’s exactly what we set out to solve with Apptrove’s latest feature update.

Introducing Smart Script for Web-to-App, which is a new and powerful feature that is intended to convert web visits into high-intent installs, all while maintaining attribution, and contextual deep linking. It is flexible, customizable, and a marketer’s dream from setup to scale.

What is Smart Script, and Why Should You Care?

In simple terms, Smart Script connects your website traffic to your app with precise attribution. It identifies when someone comes to your site and dynamically generates a link for them that sends them to the correct app store or directly opens your app. 

It’s ideal for campaigns that start in the browser and end inside your app, and it’s especially powerful if you’re running paid web traffic that you want to track all the way to install or post-install events.

Smart Script solves two major problems in your app marketing:

  • Broken web-to-app journeys where users disconnect between funneling from the landing page to the install.
  • Poor attribution when paid installs are misattributed as organic.

Smart Script ensures that every click, visit, and app open is adequately attributed, thanks to dynamic URL generation and parameter mapping.

Two Ways to Implement Smart Script

  1. Script-Based Setup
    The Smart Script can be added directly to your website via your tag manager or GTM. Smart Script dynamically builds the app store URL based on incoming traffic and your configured trackable attributes. 
  2. Banner-Based Setup
    Smart Banners can be created and implemented with embedded CTAs that link to download pages while serving the attribution mapping behind the scenes. Banners can run alongside the Script.

Both setups allow you to carry campaign metadata across the full user journey, from browser to install to in-app event.

How To Get Started

Navigate to the Engagement section, then click Web-to-App to start to build your Smart Script. This is what you will need to do: 

  1. Provide a clear name to your Smart Script, and select the appropriate Unilink template based on the desired script behaviour.
  2. Map your parameters, pull values from the incoming URL or set default/override rules. For example: If a URL is missing a pid, you can set a fallback like partner0 to keep the attribution chain intact.
  3. Use Web Referrer Mapping to capture non-campaign sources like direct visits or organic search.

There is int...
