Dashboard Walkthrough

This page explains the main sections of the Detour dashboard.

Organizations​

  • Create Organization: pick a subdomain — once created, links prefix will be https://<subdomain>.godetour.link.

  • Members: invite teammates by email and assign roles (Owner, Admin, Member). Permissions control who can create apps or manage your links and users.

    Permissions:​

    • Owner - Has unlimited capabilities for managing applications, users, and the organization.

      • Can manage all users (Owners, Admins, Members).
      • Can invite users with any role.
      • Can delete the organization.
      • Sole Owner Protection: A sole owner cannot leave the organization until another owner is appointed.

    • Admin - Has full control over applications and most user management tasks.

      • Applications: Can create, edit, and delete apps and configurations (iOS, Android, API keys).
      • Users: Can invite and manage Admins and Members.
      • Restrictions: Cannot invite, manage, or remove Owners. Cannot delete the organization.

    • Member - Has read-only access to the organization and applications.

      • Can view applications, configurations, and member lists.
      • Cannot make any changes, invite users, or view sensitive actions (like "New App" or "Edit" buttons).

Apps​

Each app has:

  • App ID
  • App Name
  • Mobile Apps Configuration (Android / iOS)
  • Redirect URL (desktop wb fallback)
  • Assigned Deferred Link
  • API Key
  • Stats (Click counts, matched installs. More stats available soon).
  • Matching Algorithm Settings

Base of your deferred link is assigned during app creation. https://<org-name>.godetour.link/<hash>. You are not allowed to modify this part, you can only add new path segments or URL search parameters.

Filling Redirect URL section and each app configuration for platform you own is required to use the solution.

Tip: For production vs staging, create separate App entries and keys.

  • Create Link: set configuration for desktop and mobile devices on platform.
  • Customize: add path segments or query parameters to part generated by platform based on your needs.
  • Analytics: view click counts, matched installs (More analytics available soon).
  • Matching: configure matching algorithm settings (matching window, threshold for probabilistic matching).

All links created on the Detour platform will be handled by our solution, adjusting the behavior based on the specific scenario and the operating system (OS) from which they were invoked.

If the user does not have the application installed, our solution will first redirect the user to the appropriate app store. After installation, the solution will match the initial click to the app installation upon first opening.

If the user already has the application installed, the application will be opened directly using Universal Links or App Links which are hosted on the platform. Read more about Universal/App Links.

Security / Keys​

Generate API keys per app. Keys should be stored securely. If you suspect your key has been exposed publicly, generate a new one and update it in your application.
