Can I have a smart link?
Smart links are those which display store links to your release in an organized list so your fans can easily locate your music on the platform of their choice.
Smart links can be a valuable way to easily share and promote your release across emails and social media. Additionally though, generating smart links allows you access to analytical data relating to your link that can provide useful insights into your audience. Many smart link creation services allow you to view things like Top Digital Services, Top Territories, and click through to stream rates.
Most smart link creation platforms only require a UPC to generate the link. Your UPC can be pulled from the Catalogue tab on your Portal.
Note: If you're building your smart link prior to release date you should set the link to 're-scan' on your release day at midnight. The smart link service will then pull in the links to each destination using your UPC on release day.
