A smart link is one URL that routes a fan to their preferred streaming platform — Spotify if they’re a Spotify user, Apple if they’re Apple, YouTube if they’re YouTube. Same link, right destination per fan. Pre-save links extend this to unreleased tracks: fans pre-save before release, and the track auto-adds to their library when it drops.   Starter+ for smart links.

How to create

​
Via Aria

​
Via the storefront UI

Sidebar → Store → asset → Smart link → Create.

​
Via MCP

The smart link tool resolves the ISRC against major DSPs server-side and assembles the routing logic — you don’t have to provide every platform URL. patchline.ai/link/<short-code> — short, shareable. Custom slug (patchline.ai/link/mira-sleeper) on Pro+. Embed in:
  • Your Linktree / bio
  • Email signatures
  • Social bios
  • Fan list emails
  • Press release “listen here” links

​
Pre-save flow

1

Create the pre-save link before release

Asset → Smart link → Pre-save mode → set release date.
2

Share the link

Same URL you’ll use post-release. No need to swap links — same URL transitions from pre-save to smart-link on release day.
3

Fans pre-save

Each fan picks a platform (Spotify, Apple, etc.) and authenticates. Their authorized save is queued.
4

Release day: auto-save fires

At release time, the queued saves execute. Each fan’s library auto-adds the track.
5

Post-release: same link works as smart link

The URL automatically transitions. Late fans get routed normally.

FAQ

Aggregate stats (clicks, conversions, geo) — yes. Per-fan tracking requires the email-capture variant, which is opt-in for fans.
