You can now track and manage song keys directly in BookLive! **What's New** Every song in your library now has an optional "Key" field. You can set the key (C, G, Bb, etc.) when adding songs or edit it anytime from your song library. **Why This Matters** If you've ever shown up to a gig and blanked on what key a song is in, this is for you. Now you can: - See the key at a glance when building setlists - - Keep your band on the same page during rehearsals - - Quickly reference keys when a client asks "can you play this in a different key?" **How To Use It** Head to your Song Library, click any song, and you'll see the new Key field. That's it — simple as it should be.

Hey BookLive fam! We just rolled out something that's going to help you close more gigs... **Clients can now preview your songs directly in their Client Portal!** When a client logs into their portal to review their booking, they can now listen to your songs right there - embedded from YouTube or Soundcloud. **Why this matters:** You know those clients who book you but haven't actually heard you play? Or the ones deciding between you and another musician? Now when they're in their Client Portal reviewing the details, they can click play and hear exactly what they're getting. No hunting for links, no leaving the page. **Great for:** - Clients finalizing their song requests for the event - - Event planners who need to share your music with their client (the bride, the corporate contact, etc.) - - Anyone on the fence who just needs to hear you to say yes **How to set it up:** Go to your Songs section and add YouTube or Soundcloud links to your songs. When clients view the setlist or song options in their portal, they'll see the embedded player. This is a simple way to give clients confidence in their booking and make the song selection process way smoother. Try it out!

Want to let your clients request songs for their event? BookLive makes it easy. **How Song Requests Work** Your clients can submit song requests directly through their booking portal. No more back-and-forth emails or spreadsheets - everything lives in one place tied to their event. You'll see all requests in your dashboard where you can approve or deny each one. Approved songs get added to your library and show up on your setlist. Denied requests? You can add a note explaining why (maybe it doesn't fit your style, or you'd need to learn it). **Charge for Special Requests** When you approve a song request, you can add a line item to the invoice to cover the cost of learning it. Great for requests outside your usual repertoire - the client sees the charge clearly tied to their special song. **Managing Song Requests** Song requests are enabled by default. If you'd like to turn them off, go to Library -> Song Requests tab to toggle the setting. Questions? Drop them in the comments!

Hey everyone! Quick update on a feature that's going to save you a lot of headaches... **You can now CC multiple contacts on all your workflow emails!** We all know how it goes - you're booked for a wedding and there's the bride, the groom, AND their event planner. Or a corporate gig with an admin assistant and the actual decision-maker. Different people need to stay in the loop. **Here's what you can do now:** When you have an event with multiple stakeholders, you can add collaborators who will automatically get CC'd on your workflow emails - confirmations, reminders, contracts, everything. No more "Can you forward that to my planner?" requests. No more people feeling out of the loop. Everyone gets the info at the same time. **Perfect for:** - Weddings (bride, groom, planner, coordinator) - - Corporate events (your contact + their assistant) - - Private parties (the host + whoever's actually handling logistics) **How to set it up:** When you're managing a booking, look for the CC Collaborators option to add additional email addresses. They'll be copied on all automated emails for that event. Keep everyone happy and informed without extra work on your end!
