How to Create a LinkedIn Deep Link, Step by Step

A LinkedIn deep link opens a profile, company page or post directly in the LinkedIn app. From email, Instagram or a website, a regular linkedin.com link often lands on a sign-in page in the browser, which stops most people from connecting or following.

  1. Copy the link to your profile, company page or post.
  2. Paste it into DSLink — in the iOS app or your dashboard on dslink.me — and pick a short, readable slug such as dslink.me/linkedin.
  3. Check the result in the live tester on this page for iPhone and Android before you publish it.
  4. Use it in email signatures, slides, business cards and bios.

What happens when someone taps your link

  • On a phone, DSLink opens the LinkedIn app directly on the exact profile, company page or post. If the visitor is already signed in there, they can act right away instead of logging in again inside a built-in browser.
  • If LinkedIn is not installed, the visitor is sent to the LinkedIn web page instead, so the link never dead-ends.
  • On a desktop computer there is no app to open, so the visitor goes straight to the regular web page with an instant redirect.
  • Pasted into Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage, Discord or X, the link shows a proper preview card instead of an anonymous short URL.
  • Every tap is counted in your DSLink statistics, with link-preview bots and crawlers filtered out.

Where LinkedIn deep links pay off

  • Email signatures and business cards. A short link (or a QR code) that opens your profile in the app.
  • Conference talks. Put a short slug on your last slide so people can connect on the spot.
  • Company hiring posts. Track how many candidates each channel sends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do LinkedIn links open in a browser instead of the mobile app?

When users tap standard LinkedIn links inside Instagram, Twitter/X, YouTube, or newsletters, mobile operating systems open them in embedded web browsers where users are not logged in. This triggers LinkedIn's aggressive "Join / Sign In" wall, causing over 70% of potential connections or company followers to bounce.

What is the URL scheme for the LinkedIn mobile app?

The primary iOS custom scheme is linkedin://profile/{username} for personal profiles, and linkedin://company/{company-slug} for organizations. On Android, an explicit intent (intent://linkedin.com/in/{username}#Intent;package=com.linkedin.android;scheme=https;end) is used.

Does this work for company pages, job postings, and newsletter links?

Yes! DSLink seamlessly detects whether your URL is a personal profile (/in/), an organization page (/company/), or a job listing (/jobs/), routing the user directly into the relevant view inside the LinkedIn mobile app.

What happens if a user opens the link on desktop?

Desktop visitors are automatically redirected to the official LinkedIn website in their browser, preserving full functionality with zero broken link screens.
