Are you tired of manually inputting all your music requests into your DJ software? Do you use a CRM to manage your client's music requests but find it difficult to transfer them over to your DJ software? Look no further! In this tutorial, we'll show you how to use the Crate Hackers desktop app with any CRM, such as DJ Event Planner, SMPL Systems, and 17 Hats.
Step 1: Access the client's music request list
First things first, access the music request list from your CRM. This list should contain the artist and title of each requested song.
Step 2: Use Crate Hackers' Text Importer
Open the Crate Hackers desktop app and use the Text Importer feature to import the music request list. Simply right-click and copy all the songs from your CRM.
Step 3: Paste into a spreadsheet program
Paste the copied song list into a spreadsheet program such as Google Sheets or Excel. Select "Paste values" and only choose the Artist and Title columns.
Step 4: Paste back into Crate Hackers
Now, paste the Artist and Title data back into Crate Hackers under Text Importer.
Step 5: Choose the right format
Choose the right format for your column order by using Artist and Title with a comma or tab-delimited dropdown menu.
Step 6: Generate Crate
Click on "Generate Crate" and voila! The Artists and Titles are track-matching the songs that you have on your hard drive, ready to export and ready to go.
Step 7: Use CSV files
Another way to import your music requests is to use CSV files. If your CRM allows it, download the CSV file and go back into the Crate Hackers app under Text Importer. Name the crate and toggle the Headers option if your CSV has headers. Choose the CSV and map the fields to fit your CSV format the best. Sometimes, you may have to try different options in the dropdown to find the right format. Execute and it's going to make that crate for you!
By following these seven simple steps, you can easily use any CRM with Crate Hackers desktop app to efficiently manage your music requests. Say goodbye to manual inputting and hello to a stress-free process. Ready to rock the party? Download Crate Hackers now!
