Create a Pre-Save Link for Spotify via DistroKid [Guide]

Q: Create a Pre-Save Link for Spotify via DistroKid [Guide]?

DistroKid generates a free HyperFollow pre-save page automatically on upload. For pixel tracking and paid-ad retargeting, upgrade to a Smart Link with a Meta Pixel installed instead.

Key takeaway

DistroKid automatically generates a HyperFollow pre-save page when you upload a release, making it the fastest free option for a first-time campaign. HyperFollow does not natively support Meta Pixel installation, so you cannot retarget people who clicked but did not save. Switching to a Smart Link with pixel tracking once you run paid ads lets you build a warm retargeting audience from pre-release clicks and convert them cheaply on release day.

How to find it:

Log into DistroKid.
Click on your new release (even if it's still processing).
Look for the "HyperFollow" section.
Copy that URL.

What Are the Limitations of Basic Pre-Save Links?

HyperFollow is great because it is free and instant. However, professional marketers often skip it in favor of advanced Smart Links (like Feature.fm or Linkfire).

Why upgrade?

Pixel Tracking: DistroKid's basic link doesn't always let you install your own Meta Pixel or Google Tag. This means you can't retarget the people who clicked but didn't save.
Data Ownership: Advanced Smart Links allow you to collect emails directly.
Customization: You can change the background, button text, and order of stores.

Recommendation: Use HyperFollow for your first release. Once you start running paid ads, switch to a pixel-enabled Smart Link to ensure you aren't wasting ad spend on untrackable clicks.
