> Bring the business behind your music together: your website, fan relationships, booking inquiries and promotion. Replace overlapping business tools, keep your creative and performance setup, and expand through thousands of marketplace apps and integrations.

A connected business workspace for musicians, bands and DJs, with an artist website, press kit, fan communication, event inquiries, lesson consultations and release campaigns.

## Suggested selection and platform breadth
Suggested four categories: Website & forms; Customer hub & inbox; Booking & calendars; Follow-up & campaigns.
This is a starting selection, not a fixed niche package. Additional categories can replace a selection or be included with the full suite; they are not included automatically in a four-category plan.
- Website & forms [suggested selection]: Give your sound a home of its own. Build an artist website and electronic press kit with your biography, cleared performance clips, press photos and listening links. Give fans, promoters and prospective students distinct ways to connect from the same site.
- Customer hub & inbox [suggested selection]: Know the people behind the opportunity. Keep fans, venues, promoters, event hosts and students organized with their relevant conversations. Give each booking inquiry an owner and a stage while keeping audience preferences separate from client work.
- Booking & calendars [suggested selection]: Make planning and teaching easier to arrange. Offer lesson consultations, recording-session discussions and event planning calls around connected host calendars. Review gig dates, travel and production needs separately before agreeing a performance.
- Follow-up & campaigns [suggested selection]: Put your promotion on the same beat. Coordinate your own release announcements, show updates, performance clips and permission-based fan messages. Keep the campaign, social calendar and interested audience together instead of managing each in isolation.
- Courses & communities [additional category choice]: Build a place for teaching and community. Organize your own technique lessons, production tutorials or behind-the-scenes resources in courses and community spaces. Choose the material, access and moderation you will provide; paid enrolment needs a separately tested setup.
- Reviews & retention [additional category choice]: Let completed work support the next booking. Request feedback consistently after lessons and confirmed client engagements. Use an eligible review destination and obtain permission before putting a host's quote or event footage in your promotion.
- Reporting [additional category choice]: See the business behind the performances. Review supported inquiry, appointment and campaign activity using the same period and definitions. Keep streaming, ticketing and touring figures in the services that actually hold those records.

## Suggested integrations
These are connection options, not installed apps or enabled connections. Confirm availability, permissions, compatibility and pricing for your business before connecting.
### Google Calendar — Built-in connection
Connect your working calendar to lesson consultations, session discussions and event planning calls.
Scope: Each host authorizes their account and chooses linked and conflict calendars. Test availability and changes; calendar sync does not reserve every band member, a gig date or equipment.
Costs: Your Google account terms apply. Any paid Google services and appointment-message usage are separate.

### Instagram & Facebook Messenger — Built-in connection
Bring supported fan, promoter and event-host messages into the customer inbox with their contact records.
Scope: Authorize the correct Facebook Page and linked Instagram account with messaging permissions. Contact matching and channel reply rules apply; a follower or social message is not automatically a newsletter opt-in.
Costs: Use your own eligible accounts. Paid advertising, optional AI and other separately enabled services are extra.

### YouTube — Built-in connection
Schedule supported performance videos, release clips, teaching videos and Shorts alongside your other promotional content.
Scope: The channel's primary owner authorizes the connection. Check format, visibility and publishing results. Publishing supplied clips does not distribute recordings to streaming services or clear music and footage rights.
Costs: Use your own channel and cleared media. Filming, editing, licensing and any separate YouTube services are extra.

### Shopify — Built-in connection
Keep your merch store while bringing supported customer and order activity into your business workspace.
Scope: Authorize the store and select supported imports and ongoing sync. Confirm current order triggers and communication preferences independently; an imported purchase is not automatically a marketing opt-in.
Costs: Your Shopify plan, processing, fulfillment and any store apps are separate. Store builds and migrations are scoped separately.

### Stripe — Built-in connection
Prepare eligible payment links, appointment payments or course purchases using the processor your business controls.
Scope: Authorize an eligible Stripe account and test the specific payment, access and cancellation experience before launch. A processor connection does not execute performance agreements or calculate music royalties.
Costs: Processing fees and paid payment services are separate. Checkout and any content delivery need their own setup and verification.

## Workflow playbooks
These recipes need your content, settings and tests. Reading or downloading one does not install or activate a workflow.
### Connect a lesson or session inquiry to the work.
Source: https://archon.tools/for/music#music-lesson-session-inquiry
Portable playbook: https://archon.tools/for/music/playbooks/music-lesson-session-inquiry
Goal: The request, conversation and consultation stay together while you agree a suitable lesson or session.
Tools: Website & forms; Customer hub & inbox; Booking & calendars; Follow-up & campaigns.
Requirements: Website, customer hub, booking and campaigns for an automated invitation; a tested host calendar and sending channel. You agree fees, recording rights and engagement terms. A consultation is not a paid lesson, confirmed recording session or grant of access to a course.
1. Collect the instrument or session request, goals, timing and useful preparation details through a focused form.
2. Keep the inquiry with the contact and review fit, availability and the work you can offer.
3. Invite a suitable prospect to the right consultation calendar and send the agreed preparation information.
4. Record the outcome and stop inquiry follow-up when the person replies, books, declines or opts out.

### Give every gig inquiry a brief and an owner.
Source: https://archon.tools/for/music#music-event-inquiry
Portable playbook: https://archon.tools/for/music/playbooks/music-event-inquiry
Goal: Bands and DJs can assess the event, share the right material and keep the promoter conversation in view.
Tools: Website & forms; Customer hub & inbox; Booking & calendars; Follow-up & campaigns.
Requirements: Website, customer hub, booking and campaigns, approved performance material and a working sending channel. Test the invitation and exit conditions. Contracts, deposits, technical riders, equipment allocation and gig-date confirmation stay in your reviewed process.
1. Collect the event type, date, venue, performance duration and host contact, plus the production or equipment details you need.
2. Assign an owner to review band availability, DJ setup, travel and production fit before discussing an engagement.
3. Share the current band press kit or DJ performance material and offer a suitable planning consultation.
4. Record the agreed outcome and stop reminders on a reply, consultation booking, decline, changed event or opt-out; confirm the gig separately.

### Bring a release, show or merch campaign together.
Source: https://archon.tools/for/music#music-release-audience-merch
Portable playbook: https://archon.tools/for/music/playbooks/music-release-audience-merch
Goal: Your site, supported social posts and fan communication share the right destination and audience.
Tools: Website & forms; Customer hub & inbox; Follow-up & campaigns.
Requirements: Website, customer hub and campaigns, authorized social accounts and a configured sending channel. Shopify is optional and needs current trigger and consent checks, including tested cancellation/refund handling if used. Your distributor, ticketing service and store retain distribution, ticket inventory, fulfillment and returns.
1. Prepare the release or show page, cleared artwork and clips, and verified listening, ticket or merch-store links.
2. Choose the opted-in fan audience by its stated interests; use verified Shopify activity only where the store connection and preferences support it.
3. Draft channel-specific posts and fan messages, check dates and links, then test the selected campaign trigger and duplicate-send controls.
4. Check publishing and sending results; stop on an opt-out and pause on replies, changed release or event details, or a relevant order issue handled by your verified setup.

## Fit and scope
- Keep the creative and performance tools you rely on. Archon.tools consolidates the business around your music. Recording and DJ software, show control, equipment management, music distribution, royalty accounting and streaming analytics remain with specialist systems or separately reviewed connections.
- Agree engagements and permissions deliberately. A calendar or pipeline entry is not a signed performance agreement. You supply cleared music, footage and press assets; music and performance licensing, venue obligations and permission to publish event media remain part of your own process. Ticket inventory and admission stay with the ticketing service.
- Build around the categories your business needs. Start with website, customer hub, booking and campaigns, or change the selection. Courses, communities, reviews and reporting are further choices. Optional AI, sending usage, paid apps, processing and custom work have separate setup or costs; workflow examples need configuration and testing.

## Common questions
Is this the same platform for solo musicians, bands and DJs?
Yes. The platform adapts to the business you run. A musician can organize students and session inquiries; a band can keep its press kit, venue contacts and fan updates together; a DJ can collect event briefs and arrange planning calls. Choose the categories, audiences and workflows that fit instead of maintaining separate systems for each role.

Can I keep my merch store, distributor and ticketing service?
Yes. The supported Shopify connection can share selected store records after authorization and setup. Link to releases and ticket pages from your site and campaigns. Music distribution, royalties, ticket inventory, admission, fulfillment and returns stay with their specialist services; we do not assume automatic Spotify, Bandcamp or ticketing-data synchronization.

Does a planning-call booking confirm the gig or lesson?
Use booking for the appointment types you have configured. Confirming the paid work still needs your availability, scope, fees and agreement checks. Paid lessons, deposits or course access need the appropriate processor and a tested customer experience. A calendar slot does not reserve every performer or piece of equipment.
