Find your universal app link and QR code — one link that automatically sends users to App Store, Google Play, or shows a QR code on desktop
How to use Flowlink
Go to Flowlink in starti.app ManagerWhat is Flowlink?
Flowlink is your app's universal sharing link. It's a single link that automatically sends the user to the right place — regardless of whether they open it on an iPhone, an Android phone, or a computer:
- iPhone — the user is sent directly to your app in the App Store
- Android — the user is sent directly to your app in Google Play
- Computer (PC/Mac) — the user sees a QR code they can scan with their phone to be sent to the right app store
Your Flowlink looks like this:
https://link.starti.app/[your-brand]Where do you find your Flowlink?
Log in
Open starti.app Manager and log in with Microsoft, Google, or Apple.
Go to Flowlink
Go to Flowlink in the left-hand menu bar under Setup.
Find your link and QR code
On the page you'll find two things:
- Your Flowlink — copy the link by clicking the copy icon, or open it directly in the browser by clicking the arrow icon
- The QR code — see the section below to learn how to download and use it
How to download the QR code
The QR code is automatically generated from your Flowlink and is ready to use immediately. It can be used on everything from roll-up banners and posters to business cards and other printed materials.
To download the QR code:
- Go to the Flowlink page in starti.app Manager
- Click "Download at full size" below the QR code
- The QR code opens in a new tab — right-click and choose "Save as..." to save it to your computer
The QR code is saved as an SVG file, which can be scaled to any size without losing quality — perfect for print. The full-size version carries your app icon at full resolution, so it stays sharp on a roll-up banner too.
Putting the QR code on your own website?
Then don't download it. Link to the screen version instead — it is far lighter, so it adds almost nothing to your page:
<img src="https://link.starti.app/your-brand.svg" alt="QR code for the app" />Replace your-brand with whatever follows link.starti.app/ in your own Flowlink. You can also copy the address straight from below the QR code on the Flowlink page.
The advantage of linking rather than uploading a file: the QR code is always the current one if your Flowlink changes.
Make sure to test the QR code before sending it to print. Scan it with your own phone and check that you land on the right page.
When is Flowlink useful?
Flowlink is ideal when you want to share a link to the app but don't know whether the recipient uses an iPhone or Android. Instead of having two separate links — one for the App Store and one for Google Play — you can always use the single Flowlink.
Examples of use:
- Link in newsletters and emails encouraging users to download the app
- QR code on roll-up banners, posters, or printed materials at events and trade shows
- Link on your website
- QR code on products, packaging, or in stores
- Link in social media posts
