### Details

The Flow Links Extension offers a powerful alternative for the [retiring Dynamic Links](https://firebase.google.com/support/dynamic-links-faq) service and provides similar functionality.

This extension allows you to create **Flow Links** - deep links that work on both iOS and Android platforms.

Upon installation, a new **Firebase Hosting** website & domain are automatically created to handle link functionality.

Newly created links are stored in a **Cloud Firestore** collection.

You can create and manage your links with the [FlowLinks Dashboard](https://edit.flowlinks.app/).

- Cloud Firestore database

- Firebase Hosting

This extension uses other Firebase and Google Cloud Platform services, which have associated charges if you exceed the service’s no-cost tier:

- Cloud Firestore

- Cloud Functions (Node.js 10+ runtime. [See FAQs](https://firebase.google.com/support/faq#extensions-pricing))
