Apologies in advance for a very dumb question, but I am not finding a good search string for google or SO.

I notice that some mobile apps send me emails and when I click on those links, I go directly to their app on my phone rather than to a web page. How is this done/what is the name of this mechanism?

Thank you for any info.
