Internal Linking
Internal Linking refers to linking URLs within your app, offering users a smooth experience tailored for app-optimized web content. Internal Linking boosts engagemnet and extends sessions tine by keeping users within the app environment.
External Linking
URLs can also be loaded externally in the device's default browser or a deep-linked default app for example, Google Maps, LinkedIn. Although external linking may provide potentially improved optimal experiences this will lead users out of the app which can help increase bounce rates.
As soon as you will click on "Configure" in Internal vs External a pop-up will open.
Now, Specify the rule you want to edit. And, select where the url will open from the three options:
1. Internal(In App): The URL will open inside you app, using a build-in browser.
2. External Browser: The URL will open in the device's default.
3. In-App Browser: This usually refers to URLs or links that opens in the screen within the app itself, not a webpage.
The specified rule will show a drop-down to select type of page listed below:
1. Single: Select this option to apply the rule to a single page. Enter the URL of the specific page where the rule should be applied.
2. Multiple: Select this option to apply the rule to multiple pages. Enter the URL path that encompasses the pages where the rule should be applied.
3. All Pages: Select this option to automatically apply the rule to all pages within your app.
4. Custom: If needed, apply a custom regex pattern to define the pages where the rule should be applied to provide precise control over rule application.
