What happens on each device

iPhone
On an iPhone, ZRO opens the item in the Spotify app with a spotify: link.
Android
ZRO opens the Spotify app by its package name, com.spotify.music. If the app is not installed, the visitor gets the website.
Computer
There is no app to open, so the visitor gets the Spotify website. The tap is still counted.

Spotify deep link questions

How do I make a Spotify deep link?

Paste any Spotify link into ZRO and share the short link it gives you. When someone taps it on an iPhone or an Android phone, it opens in the Spotify app. On a computer it opens the website.

Does a Spotify deep link work from inside Instagram, TikTok or Facebook?

Yes. ZRO recognises the in-app browser and steps out of it. On an iPhone it opens the Spotify app first and falls back to Safari. On Android it opens the app through its package.

What happens if Spotify is not installed?

The visitor lands on the Spotify website instead of an error. ZRO records the tap, so you can see how many people could not open the app.

What can a Spotify deep link open?

Tracks, Albums, Playlists, Artists, Podcast shows, Podcast episodes. Other Spotify pages open on the website.

Can I see how many people opened the Spotify app?

Yes. Your dashboard shows Yield, the share of taps on phones that ended with the app open, along with where each tap came from and which outcome it had.
