If a brand allows deep linking for an ad, then you can add a deep link-encoded URL to an existing tracking link. If you already have the full tracking URL for the ad, then you can create the deep link without logging into impact.com However, if you want to create a deep link for a vanity link, then you'll need start by retrieving the full tracking URL within the impact.com platform.
Caution: impact.com highly recommends retrieving your ad code from impact.com to reduce ad code customization mistakes.
To the end of the tracking link, add the value
u={Encoded Landing Page URL}.The format of your link should be as follows:
https://{tracking domain}/c/{Account ID}/{AdID}/{Campaign ID}?u={Encoded Landing Page URL}

The deep-linked URL is for an allowed domain and path.
The URL is percent coded (i.e., uses valid ASCII characters).
