Playlist Generator

Connect your Spotify account and let couples build their event playlist right from their portal — it lands in your library, ready to play.

The Playlist Generator lets your couples build their event playlist themselves — searching Spotify from their portal and picking the exact tracks they want — and puts the finished playlist straight into your Spotify library, ready to play at the event. Works with Spotify.

How it works

1. You connect once. In Settings → Playlist Generator, connect your business Spotify account. You approve access on Spotify's own site — GigBook can create and edit playlists, and never sees your password.
2. Couples pick their songs. On their event page, couples open Build your playlist, search any song or artist, and add tracks to their list. They can reorder or remove songs any time, and preview anything via the Play on Spotify links. There are three ways in: the Build your playlist button under their checklist, the link in the Music section of the planning form, and any checklist item whose name mentions music, songs, or a playlist. All three work even before you've connected — the page just explains that search isn't available yet, and keeps anything already picked.
3. The playlist lands in your library. When the couple hits Send to DJ's Spotify, GigBook creates one private playlist for that event in your connected account (or updates it in place if it already exists — no duplicates). You can also trigger a sync yourself via the API.

Already have your music sorted?

Not every couple wants to pick tracks one at a time, and some have their playlist finished before they ever open the portal. Below the picker there are two alternatives — both hand the music straight to you, and neither touches Spotify:

• Link to a playlist they already made — Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, anything with a URL. Saved on the event and shown to you as a link you can open. It is not copied into the picker or synced to your account.
• Upload a song list — a PDF, screenshot, Word doc, text or CSV file, up to 10 MB. Stored for you to download. GigBook doesn't read or parse it.

Either can sit alongside picked tracks; they're additions, not replacements. Couples can change the link or remove an upload at any time.

For DJs

• Each event gets one playlist, created private in your account. Re-syncs update that same playlist, so your library stays tidy.
• Disconnecting (Settings → Playlist Generator → Disconnect) removes GigBook's access tokens and deletes all cached song picks. Playlists already in your library stay yours — they're never deleted by GigBook.
• The couple's picks are also visible to you in their event, so you can review the list before the big day.

For couples

• Search is live Spotify search — if it's on Spotify, you can add it.
• Your list saves as you go; you can come back and change it any time before the event. Re-sending updates the DJ's playlist to match your latest list.
• Song search is available once your DJ has connected their Spotify account. If you see a notice that it isn't available yet, your DJ just hasn't connected — let them know!
