Working with booking agents

If you have a booking agent, you can link them to your band so they can act on your behalf — sending applications, replying to offers, even running messages. They never see your password and you control exactly what they can do.

How linking works

Linking is a two-step, verified handshake — either side can start it, but the other has to confirm before anything is active. This prevents random people from claiming your band.

1. One side requests the link (band → agent, or agent → band).
2. The other side gets an email and a notification.
3. That side either confirms (link goes active) or declines.
4. Either side can revoke at any time; both parties get an email.

Inviting a booking agent

1. From your band dashboard, click Booking agents (or go to /band-dashboard/managers).
2. Use the search box to find your booking agent by name.
3. Select them — this sends a pending request and emails them to confirm.
4. Once they confirm, the link is active and they show up in your Verified booking agents list.

Granting permissions

By default a verified booking agent can only view your band's data. Nothing else. You decide which actions they can perform by clicking Permissions next to their name and toggling scopes:

• edit_profile — update your band profile, photos, links
• manage_applications — apply to venues on your behalf
• manage_offers — accept/decline/counter offers
• manage_bookings — confirm or cancel bookings
• manage_messages — send messages to venues
• manage_stage_plots — create and edit your stage plots
• manage_past_shows — log past shows
• view_finance — see slot costs & payout info (sensitive)

You can change these at any time — changes take effect immediately for the agent.

Removing a booking agent

Click Remove next to their name in /band-dashboard/managers. They lose access immediately and receive an email.

What if my agent is already on Hedliner as a booking agent?

They may have requested you first — check the Pending requests area at the top of /band-dashboard/managers. Click Confirm to verify, or Decline if you don't recognize them.
