Mobile: V 5.22 Release Notes (Required by August 25th)

August 25th, 2025

Google is permanently discontinuing Firebase Dynamic Links (FDL) on August 25, 2025. This change directly impacts your organization's branded app and all SmartLinks currently in use by WorkN.

Without updating to the latest version of your app before this deadline, all your SmartLinks will cease to function.

What's Happening?

Google has announced the deprecation of Firebase Dynamic Links, the technology that currently powers your SmartLinks. These links are essential for:

  • Directing users from emails, SMS, and web pages directly to specific content in your app
  • Tracking marketing campaign effectiveness
  • Providing seamless user experiences across channels
  • Enabling deep linking functionality for user engagement

To ensure uninterrupted service, we have partnered an industry-leading smart link provider, to replace the deprecated Google technology.

Critical Impact if No Action is Taken

After August 25, 2025, if your app is not updated:

  • All existing smart links will break - Users clicking your links will encounter errors
  • Marketing campaigns will fail - Email, SMS, and social media links will not function
  • User experience will be severely degraded - Users won't be able to access specific content
  • Analytics and attribution will be lost - Campaign tracking will no longer work

Required Actions: Update Your App Immediately

  • Download and install the latest version of your branded app
  • All existing smart links will automatically migrate to the new system

Technical Details for IT Teams

The new implementation:

  • Fully integrated in the latest app version
  • Maintains all existing link structures
  • Requires no changes to your current smart link URLs
  • Provides backward compatibility during the transition period
