The Web Request Feature is a great tool available in the Broadcast version and OnAir Version of NextKast. It allows NextKast to automatically insert requested tracks from your station’s website directly into the playlist and even mention the requester’s name and location using nextAi (if enabled). This integration provides a seamless experience for your listeners, making them feel more connected to your station.
Getting Started with the Web Request Feature:
To set up the Web Request Feature, follow these steps:
Contact Us to Request Station Setup: We set up a station name or call letter on our shoutoutserver.com website. This is where you will send listeners to send request from their mobile device or browser.
Enter Details in Web Request Dialog: We will provide your station login once set up, please enter that in the stationName section. No Need top enter password, this is automatically generated.
Set Up station Logo: Click on the logo section to set the station Logo that will appear on the request page your listeners will access.
Select Options: Several options are available, we can enable email approval, this will cause the system to email an admin (set email to advances settings) an email so they can approve or disaprove the request. In addition we can enable ‘Charge For request”, in addition you can set the Request Rate. The customer will be charged for each request we split the proceeds 30/70%. Payments are sent monthly
Upload Initial Files: Click the “Upload Settings” button within the NextKast interface. This action will upload all the necessary files to your web server.
Testing the Setup: Once the files are in place, navigate to url show, using either the qr code or click the link in the web request window.
Additional Notes:
The Web Request Feature is designed to be as simple as possible to implement, allowing you to enhance listener engagement by enabling song requests directly from your website.
