Apple Music is the second-largest music streaming platform in the world, and many of your fans use it as their primary listening service. Fanaura includes Apple Music as a platform option on pre-save pages so those fans can commit to your release and receive a direct link on release day.

​
What This Integration Does

  • Platform selection on pre-save pages: Fans click Pre-Save on Apple Music to record Apple Music as their preferred platform.
  • Native notification pre-save: Fanaura records the presave internally. On release day, the fan receives an email or SMS with a direct Apple Music streaming link.
  • No per-artist setup: Apple Music appears automatically on your smart link when you enable it on the release.
Fanaura pre-saves use native notification pre-save for all platforms, including Apple Music. Fanaura does not automatically add the track to the fan’s Apple Music library via MusicKit OAuth in the current shipping flow.

​
How Presaves Work

1

Visit smart link

The fan visits your pre-save page (e.g., fan.fanaura.com/link/presave/your-slug).
2

Authenticate

New fans complete the data wrapper signup (email, optional phone, consent).
3

Select Apple Music

The fan clicks Pre-Save on Apple Music. Fanaura records the native pre-save.
4

Confirmation

The fan sees a success message. No Apple ID OAuth is required in this flow.
5

Release day

The fan receives an email or SMS with a direct link to stream on Apple Music. The page also converts to a stream page.

​
Apple Music vs Spotify on Pre-Save Pages

Both platforms use the same Fanaura native notification model. The fan chooses their preferred service; Fanaura notifies them on release day.

​
Setup

Apple Music appears on your pre-save page when you enable it in the release platform settings. There is no separate Apple Music API key or OAuth setup for artists.

​
Supported Actions

  • Pre-save platform selection: Fan records Apple Music as their preferred platform.
  • Release-day notification: Fan receives a direct streaming link on release day.
  • Stream page conversion: Pre-save page becomes a stream page after release.
