Side Door Platform Update: Simplifying Connections
Simplifying Connections
At Side Door, we are all about fostering connections between Artists and Hosts for unforgettable shows, and we are thrilled to announce that it just got a lot easier to make that happen.
New Connect Page
First and foremost, we completely revamped our connection page to offer you a more intuitive and efficient experience. What's new:
Improved map: Artists and Hosts can now browse Show Calls directly on the interactive map. Simply click on a pin to effortlessly discover the affiliated Show Call.
Expanded user visibility: You can now see all Artists or Hosts on Side Door, not just those with a Show Call. These potential connections are represented by a red dot on the map. While you can't directly message them, you can create a Show Call for their region, notifying them that you're looking to perform nearby.
Enhanced search filters: Searching for Show Calls is now a breeze! We added more search filters to quickly find what you're looking for.
Simplified Show Call creation: For those moments when you're not quite sure where to create a Show Call, our interactive map will guide you. Browse the map to see which cities have the most potential, and when you find a good fit, click "Create Show Call" for the location field to automatically populate with the current location on the map.
User Benefits
These updates were rolled out last week, and we can't wait for you to start using them. We always listen to our users, and these improvements are a direct response to your valuable feedback. Here's how you'll benefit:
✔️ Enjoy more options for how you browse and create Show Calls
✔️ Save time browsing with more search filters
✔️ Understand where all artists or hosts on Side Door are located for better planning
✔️ Get rewarded for having a more robust and complete profile. Users who connect their Spotify page and collect reviews and ratings will be displayed first in search results.
Future Plans
These new features mark another step in our ongoing journey to create the best possible platform for artists and hosts like you. We're committed to continually enhancing your experience and encourage you to log in and explore the redesigned connect page. Stay tuned for more exciting news, and until then, go enjoy some live music!
