Smart links are the connective tissue of Fanaura. Every piece of content you create — every release, every merch product, every tour date — gets a beautiful, shareable landing page that does something most links can’t: it captures fan data. When a fan clicks your smart link, they don’t just land on a page. They enter your world. And with their consent, Fanaura captures who they are, where they are, and what they’re interested in. That data flows into your fan database, powers your campaigns, and helps you understand your audience.Documentation Index

Every fan interaction through a smart link grows your database automatically. No manual data entry required.
What Makes Smart Links “Smart”?
A regular link takes someone to a page. A smart link does that and:Captures Fan Data
Email, phone number, name, location — collected with consent.
Tracks Engagement
Which platforms fans click, when they visit, how they interact.
Auto-Detects Location
Knows the fan’s city, state, and country without them entering it.
Triggers Flows
Fan actions on smart links can activate automated campaigns.
- Collects consent — opt-in for email, SMS, and data collection (GDPR/CCPA compliant)
- Attributes actions — connects presaves, streams, merch purchases, and RSVPs to specific fans
- Looks professional — custom branding with your colors, artwork, and style
The Link Hierarchy
Fanaura organizes your smart links into a clean hierarchy:Level 1: Artist Hub
URL:
fan.fanaura.com/[artistSlug]Your master landing page. One link to rule them all. It shows everything — your music, merch, tours, and extras — all in one place. This is your “link in bio.”Level 2: Category Links
Category-specific pages that show all items of one type:
fan.fanaura.com/[artistSlug]/music— all your releasesfan.fanaura.com/[artistSlug]/merch— all your merch productsfan.fanaura.com/[artistSlug]/tours— all your tour datesfan.fanaura.com/[artistSlug]/extras— all your extras (contests, communities, etc.)
Level 3: Item Links
Individual pages for specific items:
fan.fanaura.com/[artistSlug]/[releaseSlug]— a specific single, EP, or albumfan.fanaura.com/[artistSlug]/[productSlug]— a specific merch productfan.fanaura.com/[artistSlug]/[tourSlug]— a specific tour or showfan.fanaura.com/[artistSlug]/[extraSlug]— a specific extra
Data Wrappers
Data wrappers are the secret sauce. They’re the privacy-compliant authentication screens that appear before a fan accesses your content for the first time.How They Work
Fan Clicks Your Smart Link
A fan sees your link on Instagram, in an email, or anywhere else and clicks it.
Data Wrapper Appears (First Visit)
If it’s their first visit, a branded screen asks for:
- Email address
- Phone number (optional)
- Consent checkboxes (email opt-in, SMS opt-in, data collection)
- Terms of service and privacy policy links
Why This Matters
And because consent is collected upfront, you have full permission to email and text these fans later. No guessing about opt-in status.Privacy Compliance
Data wrappers are designed with privacy regulations in mind:
- GDPR compliant — explicit consent checkboxes, clear data usage disclosure
- CCPA compliant — privacy policy links, right to opt out
- Consent timestamps — every opt-in is recorded with a timestamp for your records
- Granular consent — separate checkboxes for email, SMS, and data collection (fans can opt in to one without the other)
- Only shown once — returning fans are recognized and skip the wrapper automatically
Auto-Generated Links
You don’t need to create smart links manually. Every asset you add to Fanaura automatically gets one:- Create a release — presave/stream smart link generated instantly
- Sync merch from Shopify — each product gets a smart link
- Add a tour — every event gets its own shareable link
- Create an extra — smart link ready to share
Customization
Your smart links reflect your brand:- Artist colors — your primary and accent colors are applied to buttons, backgrounds, and text
- Album artwork — displayed prominently on presave and stream pages
- Artist avatar — shown on the Artist Hub and data wrapper screens
- Artist name — featured on every page
- Bio text — displayed on your Artist Hub
- Custom slugs — you can customize the URL slug for any item
Everything is automatically pulled from your Fanaura profile, so your smart links look on-brand from the moment they’re created.
