Deeplinking to Ring app

Ring Q&A
1

Hello!

Our team is trying to understand how best to link from our app into the Ring app store, ideally directly to our app’s page in the Ring app store. Is a deeplinking URL scheme available - either to the website, or directly into the iOS / Android app?

Currently we are just using https://account.ring.com/account/integrations - wondering if that is the best option at the moment.

Thanks,

Cam

Hi @cam_hill , Thanks for reviewing the Ring Appstore capabilities. Could you clarify the end-user experience you’re aiming to create?

For example, would a Ring customer discover your app in the Ring Appstore, click on it, and then be directed to your app’s homepage in a separate browser tab?

Hi Dinesh,

I’m thinking about at least 2 specific end user experiences:

  1. A user organically finds our app in the iOS/Android App Stores. We have a feature highlight that says “Connect to a ring camera”. Ideally that feature highlight button would like directly to the Ring integrations page where they can link a ring device to our app (rather than generically linking to the Ring app/website).

2. A user of our app has a Ring account with or without devices. We have a link to “Manage in Ring” to direct a user to manage their linked account (add/remove devices, etc.). Similarly, in this case ideally we’d take them directly to our app’s integration page rather than a generic page.

1. Deep linking from App Store feature highlights: You can direct users to your specific app’s integration page on Ring AppStore using this format: https://ring.com/pages/appstore/[your-app-name]. This takes users directly to your Ring integration page instead of a generic landing.

2. “Manage in Ring” account linking: This functionality already exists! We provide an account link URL that redirects authenticated users to your partner-specific page. In the Ring developer portal, you see a “Go to App” option that takes them directly to your integration page within Ring. This leverages the same differentiation we built into the Developer Portal between 3P app homepage and your app’s corresponding Ring pages.
