How to Create a Waze Navigation Link, Step by Step
A Waze deep link opens the Waze app with your address or place already searched, so a visitor can start navigating with one more tap. It is the simplest way to send people to a shop, venue or event from a website, invitation or ad.
- Enter the address or the name of the place, exactly as you would type it in Waze.
- Paste it into DSLink — in the iOS app or your dashboard on dslink.me — and pick a short, readable slug such as
dslink.me/directions. - Проверьте результат в живом тестере на этой странице для iPhone и Android, прежде чем публиковать его.
- Add the link to your website, event invitations, booking confirmations and Google Business profile.
Что происходит, когда кто-то нажимает на вашу ссылку
- On a phone, DSLink opens the Waze app directly on your address or place. If the visitor is already signed in there, they can act right away instead of logging in again inside a built-in browser.
- If Waze is not installed, the visitor is sent to a web page instead, so the link never dead-ends.
- На настольном компьютере нет приложения, которое можно было бы открыть, поэтому посетитель сразу попадает на обычную веб-страницу с мгновенным перенаправлением.
- Вставленная в Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage, Discord или X ссылка показывает правильную карточку предварительного просмотра вместо анонимного короткого URL-адреса.
- Каждое нажатие учитывается в вашей статистике DSLink, при этом боты и сканеры предварительного просмотра ссылок отфильтровываются.
Where Waze links pay off
- Shops, restaurants and venues. A "Get directions" button that opens navigation instead of a map image.
- Events and weddings. Put the link or a QR code on invitations.
- Delivery and pickup points. Send customers the exact location in one tap.
