How to Create a Music Smart Link: Step-by-Step Guide

A music smart link solves the multi-platform problem every artist faces on release day: your fans are on different streaming platforms, but you can only share one link. A Lynkify smart link creates a single URL that routes each fan to their preferred streaming service, tracks every click, and can capture fan emails — all in one shared link.

1. Start a new Release Link in Lynkify

Log in to your Lynkify workspace and navigate to Release Links. Click 'Create New.' You can import metadata automatically by pasting a Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, or Amazon Music URL — Lynkify will pull in the track title, artist name, and release artwork. If your music is not yet live on platforms, you can create the link manually and add streaming URLs as they become available.

2. Add all your streaming platform URLs

Add links for every platform where your music is available: Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, Deezer, SoundCloud, Audiomack, and any others relevant to your market. Fans only see platform buttons for URLs you have added. For a global release, prioritizing Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Deezer covers the majority of streaming listeners worldwide.

3. Set up fan email capture

Fan capture is available on all Lynkify plans. On your release link settings, enable the email capture option and customize the prompt copy — for example, 'Join my list for early access to new music.' You can gate the streaming links behind the email form or display capture as an optional add-on after fans choose their platform.

4. Customize the page appearance

Upload your release artwork if it did not import automatically. Customize the page title, description, and any additional text you want fans to see. On paid plans, you can remove Lynkify branding and apply your custom domain. Artists on the Artist plan can also add a Meta Pixel ID for retargeting.

5. Publish and share your link

Click Publish to make your smart link live. Copy the URL — it looks like lynkify.in/r/your-release-slug or, on custom domains, music.yourname.com/r/your-release-slug. Share this one URL across your Instagram bio, TikTok, Twitter, email, and any press materials. Check Analytics after 48 hours to see which platforms fans are choosing and where your traffic is coming from.
