# Deep Link | Sentry for React Native

*(Available in version 8.8.0 and above)*

*Import name: `Sentry.deeplinkIntegration`*

The `deeplinkIntegration` automatically captures breadcrumbs when your app receives deep links via React Native's [`Linking`](https://reactnative.dev/docs/linking) API. It tracks both cold start URLs (the link that opened the app) and warm open URLs (links received while the app is running).

##### Note

This integration relies on React Native's `Linking` module. To receive URLs, your app must have native deep linking configured using URL schemes or universal links.

## [Setup](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/react-native/integrations/deeplink.md#setup)

**javascript**

```javascript
import * as Sentry from "@sentry/react-native";

Sentry.init({
  dsn: "___PUBLIC_DSN___",
  integrations: [Sentry.deeplinkIntegration()],
});
```

## [What It Captures](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/react-native/integrations/deeplink.md#what-it-captures)

Each deep link creates a breadcrumb with:

* **category:** `deeplink`
* **type:** `navigation`
* **data.url:** the deep link URL

### [PII Handling](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/react-native/integrations/deeplink.md#pii-handling)

When `sendDefaultPii` is `false` (the default), the integration sanitizes URLs before recording them:

* Query strings are removed
* Path segments that look like IDs (numeric values, UUIDs, hex strings of 8+ characters) are replaced with `<id>`

For example, `myapp://user/123/profile?token=xyz` becomes `myapp://user/<id>/profile`.

Set `sendDefaultPii: true` in your `Sentry.init()` options to capture the full, unsanitized URL.
