🔗 What is a Deeplink?
A deeplink is a redirect URL that tracks user interactions before sending them to their final destination.
In the context of the World Wide Web, deep linking is the use of a hyperlink that links to a specific, generally searchable or indexed, piece of web content on a website rather than the website's home page.
