Creating Patches

Updated over 5 months ago

Patches are the main component for you to add your streaming content to websites and landing pages. Projects can have multiple patches and you can manage them all from the Patches page of your dashboard.

Here's how to set up a patch:

  1. You can create a new patch from a few different areas of your dashboard:

    1. Sidebar - Click the "Create" button at the top of the sidebar and select "Patch" from the menu options

    2. Home Page - Click the "Add patch" button at the top of the Home page

    3. Patches Page - Click the "Add patch" button at the top of the Patches page

  2. Choose an action type for your patch

    1. Pre-save - Allow fans to pre-save an album or single before it's released.

    2. Follow - Add an artist or user profile for fans to follow.

    3. Add to Library - Add an album, playlist, or podcast for fans to save to their library.

  3. Give your patch a descriptive name. Names are important for helping find patches within projects and in analytics. Patch names can identify a campaign, album, or placement on your website.

  4. Locate your profile, album, playlist, or podcast on your favorite streaming service and copy the URL, UPC, or URI.

  5. Paste the URL, UPC, or URI into the media ID field and Sonikit will search all available streaming services. Toggle the services that you'd like to include in your patch. If you don't see a particular service, you can save your patch with the services that are found, and then add another service individually later. After your patch is saved, navigate to the "Services" tab and follow step 4 to add other services individually.
