Know if app downloaded from a website

I am implementing deep linking. On our website, the app download banner is there. If a user clicks on download button and the app is downloaded. Is there a way to know that this app was downloaded after redirecting too appstore from our website or user directly went to app store, searched for the app and downloaded.

Strictly speaking, this is 'attribution', not 'deep linking'. Deferred deep linking might be involved if you want to send users directly to a specific place in your app after they download by clicking on the banner button, but tracking who downloaded is a separate problem.

iTunes Connect campaign links track this to a certain extent, but they are often found to be unreliable. You'll probably want a third-party install attribution tool like Branch.io (full disclosure: I'm on the Branch team) or Firebase Dynamic Links. Branch actually has an out-of-the-box smart banner option.

If you're doing a lot of paid ads, you might also want to investigate ad attribution providers like Adjust, Tune, or AppsFlyer.
