# Deep Linking

Using Intercom you can embed a deep link in your in-app messages or as the URI for your push messages.

## Setting up a Deep Link in your App

You will need to set up a deep link in your apps AndroidManifest.xml. Android supports both *app://page* and *[http://www.app.com/page](http://www.app.com/page)* type schemes.


```xml
<activity android:name="app.SettingsActivity">    
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
        <data android:scheme="http"
              android:host="www.app.com"
              android:pathPrefix="/settings" />
        <data android:scheme="app"
              android:host="settings" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>
```

## Linking to your app

Once you have set up your app to respond to a URI, you can send a push message with that as the URI. Tapping the push message will open your app to the specified page.

You can also add a link to your in-app messages and replies as follows:

## Linking to other apps

You can link to other apps instead of your own. For example if you wanted to link to a location in Google Maps you could set the URI. Tapping the push message would open the Maps app and move you to the coordinates provided.
