_x000D_ _x000D_ We have an Android and iOS app. We want to track from what links our app was downloaded. So if we posted a link on Facebook of our app and someone clicks on the link and download it, it should log that the app was downloaded on Facebook. So with some research I found Google Analytics has something called campaigns and you can setup a link with this campaign and then log it through Google Analytics. But we already added Firebase into our app so when I try to setup this campaign on Google Analytics it takes me to Firebase, it looks like you can't have both. I will do it through Firebase if I just found some documentation on this. The only thing I saw was dynamic links but I don't think this is going to help me. Can someone just point me in the right direction on how I can track from what link our app was downloaded?

_x000D_ Firebase Analytics SDK supports campaign events as long as you setup one of the required campaign parameters, such as utm_source, utm_campaign or utm_medium. You should construct the link on your Facebook to include those parameters. Once you have your app opened by such link, Firebase Analytics will automatically log campaign events for you. Since I am an iOS developer, I'll answer your iOS questions (I believe that Android should be similar). You will also need to setup your app so that it can be opened by URL. On iOS, you may need to setup URL scheme or universal link: For URL scheme: In the Info tab of your app's Xcode project, create a new URL type to be used for Dynamic Links. Set the Identifier field to a unique value and the URL scheme field to either your bundle identifier or a unique value. If you set the URL scheme to a value other than your bundle identifier, you must specify the bundle identifier Note that Universal Link on iOS will require having the file apple-app-site-association at the root of your server. This might be a complicated process so that's why Firebase Dynamic Deep Link makes it easier to setup and handle campaign events.
