How to collect fan emails and send a music newsletter

Collect permission, download your fan list, and bring it into your email service.

Anyone can read this guide. Some steps use features in Pro or Lifetime.

  1. 1

    Turn on fan email capture

    • In your smart link editor, switch on fan email capture and save (Pro or Lifetime).
    • Tell fans what they’ll get: release news, tour dates or other updates.

    Tip: Submit the form once yourself with an email you control.

  2. 2

    Review and export your fans

    • Go to Dashboard → Smart Links, open the link, then open its fan list.
    • Click the CSV export to download it.

    Watch out: Keep the file private. A submitted address isn’t verified, so don’t assume double opt-in.

  3. 3

    Import into your email service

    • In Mailchimp, Brevo or MailerLite, choose Import contacts and upload your CSV.
    • Match the email column and put contacts in a clearly named artist or release group.

    Watch out: This is a manual export, not automatic syncing. Respect unsubscribes in both places.

  4. 4

    Send responsibly

    • Verify your sender domain with your email service.
    • Use a recognizable sender name, honest subject lines and an unsubscribe link.
    • Remove bounced addresses and never buy lists.

    Tip: Turn on double opt-in where you can — it keeps your list healthy and out of spam.
