Shoutouts

Shoutouts let listeners request songs, dedications, or on-air mentions directly through your app. Manage the queue, approve requests, and engage with your audience in real-time.

Accessing Shoutouts

Navigate to Shoutouts from the sidebar or visit /shoutouts.

Shoutouts management interface

Getting Started

Click Getting Started to enable the Shoutouts feature in your app. Once enabled, listeners can submit:

  • Song Requests — Request specific songs to be played

  • Dedications — Send messages to loved ones on-air

  • Birthday/Anniversary Shoutouts — Celebrate special occasions

  • General Messages — Comments or questions for DJs

Managing Requests

View incoming shoutouts in the queue. For each request, you can:

  • Approve — Add to your on-air list

  • Decline — Remove inappropriate or duplicate requests

  • Mark as Played — Track which requests you've honored on-air

  • Respond — Send a message back to the listener

Enable push notifications for new shoutouts during live shows so you never miss a request.

Shoutout Settings

Configure which types of shoutouts to accept, whether to require user registration, and if shoutouts need pre-approval before appearing to other listeners.

Shoutouts drive engagement. Listeners who submit requests are 3x more likely to become regular users.
