In this article, we'll teach you how to create a standard smart link aka a Release Link.

Tutorial video:

Getting started

First, choose an artist and click on Enter.

Then look for Create a Music Smart Link section and click on Create.

Link creation

The first step in creating your smart link is to make sure the music services you wish to use are enabled.

Add music services

To add more music services, scroll down and click on Search Store, choose the music service you wish to add and click on Add Store

Remove music services

To remove a music service, click on the X button.

Add A Scan Source

Once the required music services are configured, scroll back up Enter a URL/Link of a song, album, playlist from your favorite music service (DSP) in the Scan Source text box and click on Scan.

Tip: UPC and ISRC are also supported.

Our system will now try to automatically locate and match release in the scan source submitted across all music services.

In case a match is found, it will look as follows:

In case we failed to find a match, the URL of the respective music service will remain empty and autoscan will remain ON (which means we'll keep looking for your release until we find it).

In addition, you can manually entered the URL you wish to use for this music service. We'll make sure it's valid and show you the title of the URL below the URL field for your convenience. 😉 

One done, click next or refer to link settings tab.

Link settings

In this section, you can customize your link and landing page settings.

Link URL

This is where we can customize the url of our smart link.

Pro Tip: we strongly recommend a shortcode/slug that is related to your release.

Look for the preview section on the right to see how each one looks.
