Secret links: send promos to DJs you only have a DM for

Some of your best contacts don't live in an inbox. They live in your DMs.

The problem

Your private list is the asset: the tastemakers who actually open your music and tell you what they think. But not every relationship starts with an email address. Some of your strongest connections are a DJ you slid into on Instagram, a radio host you know from WhatsApp, a curator you only talk to on Discord. Until now, getting them a private, trackable listen meant either adding them to your list with an email you didn't have, or sending a plain link with no way to see who actually played it.

What's new

You can now generate a private, tracked secret link for a campaign using just a recipient's name. No email address needed at all.

Drop that link straight into a DM, a WhatsApp thread, or a Discord message, and it behaves exactly like any other secret link in Promoly: private, unlisted, and tied to a named contact in your campaign.

How it works

• Add a contact by name only. No email field to fill in, just who you're sending to.
• Generate their secret link. It's private and unlisted, built for one-to-one sharing outside of email.
• Share it anywhere. Paste it into a DM, group chat, or message thread, wherever that tastemaker actually lives.
• Get the same tracking you already trust. Plays, downloads, and feedback all come back attributed to that named contact, right alongside your emailed sends.

Every DM contact becomes a tracked send

This is your private list, extended to the places your best relationships actually happen. You're no longer choosing between "on my list" and "reachable." Every DJ, curator, or press contact you can DM is now someone you can track. It's the same private, tracked-link experience that makes Promoly the alternative to blind feedblasts, just without the email address as a gatekeeper. More of your real relationships become measurable, attributable sends, so you get a fuller, more accurate picture of who's actually engaging with your music before release day.
