About user engagement
User Connection and Engagement Features¶
The Hive platform provides various features that help users easily access and engage with the game. These features offer the following benefits:
- Flexible Destination Configuration and Connection: Through a link, users can be connected to desired destinations, such as a specific in-app location, market, or web page.
- Optimized Entry Based on User Environment: Automatically detecting the user's OS and app installation status, it provides flexibility to connect users to the most suitable path among the configured destinations. Even if an in-app location is set as the destination, users without the app installed are automatically redirected to the market to encourage app installation.
- Promoting User Engagement and Reactivation: It encourages inflow into core in-game content, and provides an easy re-entry path for inactive users to prevent churn and promote revisits.
Deep Link Features¶
- Single Platform Specific Link: This is a single platform connection method targeting an app on a specific OS (e.g., Android app or iOS app).
- Precise In-App Location Routing: Users can be accurately directed to a specific page or feature within the app (e.g.,'Mailbox'). For this, a scheme deep link is generated, and an accessible HTTPS link for the web is also issued.
Direct Link Features¶
- Multi-Platform and Custom Destination Connection: You can flexibly set desired destinations like market, webpage, or specific in-app locations based on the OS (Android, iOS, Windows, Mac), and issue them as a single HTTPS link.
- Easy In-App Navigation Integration: When moving users to a specific in-app location, existing deep link settings can be directly utilized for convenient connection.
- Enhanced PC App Accessibility: Supports both app installation and execution in a PC environment. In particular, Direct Links provide a page where users can directly select their preferred PC market (e.g., Steam, Direct Distribution), and you can add introductory text for the link, which more effectively encourages user app engagement.
