Tour
Supertape automatically syncs your tour dates, and provides you with event smart links to share with fans, to get them buying tickets across all of your platforms.
How tour syncing works
Finding events on your platforms
After connecting a tour platform, we’ll import all of your events from it. After that, we’ll sync with it nightly to add new events and remove old ones.
Adding events to your website
When a new event is found on a platform, we’ll try to match it to an existing event on your site by date and name. If we can’t, we’ll create a new event.
Setting details on your events
Each platform provides different details about your event, so when a platform knows something about your event that we don’t, we’ll apply it first-come-first-serve.
Reviewing your events
Sometimes the details we get from a platform may be a little off, or may be wrong entirely. So it’s always a good idea to review your events to make sure everything looks good.
- Image - The event’s promotional image. Should be high resolution.
- Name - The event’s title. Keep it formatted exactly as it appears on platforms.
- URL slug - The unique part of the event’s URL. ex:

- Type - The type of event it is (Concert, Festival, etc.). Set by Supertape initially.
