Create a Spotify Pre-Save Link for Your Next Release
Give fans a simple action before release day, then send them back to your live release with a measurable campaign flow.
Pre-saves
Turn pre-release attention into launch activity
A Spotify pre-save link captures fan intent while the song is still upcoming. Artlink helps you promote that campaign and keep the link useful after release day.
How to set it up
Create the pre-save campaign
Add the release name, artist, artwork, release date, and Spotify destination when it is available.
Promote before release day
Share the pre-save from your bio, short-form content, email list, ads, and fan communities.
Route fans after launch
Use the campaign as a live smart link once the release is available everywhere.
Best use cases
Upcoming singles
Give fans one clear action while you are teasing snippets, artwork, release dates, and behind-the-scenes content.
Album rollouts
Collect intent across a longer rollout and keep fans connected when the full release drops.
Paid release campaigns
Measure which ads and audiences produce real pre-release engagement instead of only clicks.
Platform fit
Spotify
Use the Spotify action for fans who want the release in their Spotify library.
Apple Music
Add Apple Music pre-add messaging so the campaign does not ignore non-Spotify listeners.
YouTube, YouTube Music, and Tidal
These are pre-save platforms too, not just post-release links — each performs a real library save on release day.
