How to Create a Pre-Save Link in Sonikit

Pre-save links allow your fans to automatically add your upcoming release to their preferred streaming service the moment it goes live. In Sonikit, setting up a pre-save link is easy—and it's one of the best ways to build momentum before release day.

This guide walks you through the step-by-step process to create a pre-save link using Sonikit.


Step 1: Navigate to the Pre-Save Builder

  1. Log in to your Sonikit dashboard.

  2. Click on Projects and select the project associated with the release.

  3. Go to the Pre-Saves tab.

  4. Click Create New Pre-Save.


Step 2: Enter Release Details

  • Release Title: Add the name of your upcoming release.

  • Release Date: Choose the expected release date and time.

  • Cover Art (optional): Upload your artwork to customize the link preview.


Step 3: Choose Supported Platforms

Sonikit supports Spotify, Apple Music, and Deezer for pre-saves.

  • Enable the platforms you want to support.

  • For each service, connect the artist profile if it’s not already linked.


Step 4: Customize the Fan Experience

You can tailor the fan experience to collect emails, phone numbers, or additional info:

  • Add optional input fields.

  • Enable/disable consent checkboxes for email/SMS marketing.

  • Customize thank-you messages or redirect to a custom URL after completion.


Step 5: Generate the Pre-Save Link

Once configured, click Generate Link.

  • Sonikit will create a unique short link (e.g., https://skt.to/abc123).

  • You can preview what fans will see by clicking Preview.


Step 6: Share Your Link

Start building hype by sharing your pre-save link:

  • Post it on social media.

  • Include it in your email campaigns.

  • Link it from your bio or Link in Bio tools.

You can also track performance in your Sonikit dashboard under Pre-Save Analytics.


Tips
