Request Events

A request event brings Slipmat tools to a gig that you play somewhere else: a club, a wedding, a mobile DJ gig or a radio show. It doesn’t have a chat nor a live stream. It does have a public page in case you want to use the request system.

Create a request event

Section titled “Create a request event”
  1. On the Schedule Event page, open Other Events and click Create request event.
  2. Choose the Date and the Start time. The Name is optional: without one, Slipmat names the event “Requests” and the date.
  3. Choose if and how how people can request, and click Create request event.
The form for a new request event

The request settings:

  • Take requests before the event: off by default. Then the page waits until you open requests.
  • Song requests and Shout-outs: what people can send you.
  • Let people request without an account: on by default. Guests pick a name and get five requests each.
  • Let people search Spotify: on by default. People can request anything on Spotify, not only your own music.
  • Let people attach the song as a file: needs a connected Dropbox.
  • Tips: let people tip you from the request page.

Share it with a QR code

Section titled “Share it with a QR code”

Your artist has one permanent QR code, on the Artist QR Code page. The request event also has a QR code button. Print the code once, and it works for every gig after:

  • While a request event runs, a scan opens its request page. When requests are open, the request app opens automatically.
  • While a streamed event is live, a scan opens its live page.
  • At other times, a scan opens your artist page.

You can also share the request page’s link. Slipmat never lists a request event anywhere so if you don’t share it anywhere it’s totally private.

Manage the gig

Section titled “Manage the gig”
  1. The event starts automatically at its start time. To start earlier, click Start event on the event’s page.
  2. Turn Requests on and off from the event’s page. Manage requests opens your request queue.
  3. When the gig is over, click End event. Nothing ends a request event automatically.

Note: only one of your events can run at a time, and a request event counts.
