Lab description

Firebase is Google's application development platform with tools to build and release mobile apps, monitor and track app analytics and boost user engagements to grow the app further.

Firebase Dynamic Links lets users create in-app and browser-based short links that work on any platform. These links are easier to share with others and great for branding since you can add a custom domain as a prefix to the dynamic link.

In this lab, you will create a URL prefix and shorten an existing URL to a Firebase dynamic link using the URL prefix as the prefixed domain. 

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this lab, you will be able to:

  • Create a URL prefix for dynamic link creation
  • Shorten an existing URL with your custom domain URL prefix

Intended Audience

  • Developers interested in adding dynamic links to their app to convert web users to app users
  • Marketing interested in social media campaigns sending promotional offers using links that work on any platform
  • Product specialists interested in presenting their internal links with their custom domain
