Music integrations

What it is

Aden connects to the music services your team already uses. There are three distinct integrations:

• Spotify: import your released catalog (tracks and albums) directly from Spotify, pulling in metadata like artwork, ISRC, UPC, genre, and release dates, so you don't have to enter it by hand.
• Songstats: link your team's Spotify artist profile to Songstats so streaming statistics flow into Aden's analytics dashboard. You can also link individual track URLs across platforms (Apple Music, TikTok, etc.) to widen the data.
• Team app: request a branded fan app published under your team's name on the App Store and Google Play. Aden handles the build, signing, and submission pipeline; you just provide a display name and short description.

Using it

Importing tracks from Spotify

1. Go to your team's Settings → Import (/app/teams/[teamId]/import).
2. Paste your Spotify artist URL. Aden fetches your released albums and singles.
3. Pick which releases to import. For each one you can assign collaborators and optionally trigger songwriter discovery (enriches the collaborator list from ISRC data).
4. Click Import. Each track lands in your team's track list with metadata already filled in and artwork uploaded to storage. Duplicate detection skips tracks that already exist (matched by Spotify ID or ISRC).

You can also sync metadata back onto an existing Aden track from a Spotify single: useful when a track was created manually before it was released.

Connecting Songstats

You don't need to leave the analytics page to connect. On the team's Streaming analytics tab, if the team isn't linked yet Aden auto-matches from the primary streaming account in your team links (Spotify first, then Apple Music) the moment the tab loads. If auto-match can't find you, paste a Spotify or Apple Music artist URL right there inline. Only the single primary account per streaming service feeds analytics.

You can also connect from Settings → Integrations (/app/teams/[teamId]/integrations): same auto-resolve, same manual paste fallback.

Once linked, your streaming stats appear on the Streaming analytics tab. On individual tracks, you can add or remove platform URLs (Apple Music, TikTok, …) to include them in the Songstats graph; Songstats merges these asynchronously on their next ingestion pass.

You can also import your Songstats catalog as Aden tracks. Useful when Spotify import isn't available or the Songstats catalog is more complete.

Requesting a team app

Team apps require the Max plan and an Admin role on the team.

1. Go to Settings → Integrations.
2. Click Request team app, optionally customise the display name and short description.
3. Aden queues the request. An orchestrator worker walks it through the pipeline: provisioning → creating → building → submitting → in review → live.
4. You can cancel a queued or provisioning request, and retry a failed one.

Inspecting a connected account

Connected accounts sit at the top of the Platforms list on Apps & integrations (same rows as available platforms, no separate section). Expired or errored connections show Reconnect instead of the active toggle, on every scope (team, organisation, personal, Aden's own staff mailbox). Reconnect, Details and Disconnect live under the row's … menu. The detail page (/integrations/connections/[connectionId]) still shows account ID, sync state, token expiry, who connected it, and the MCP tool allowlist for MCP-backed providers.

Connecting social accounts

On Settings → Integrations, connect Instagram, Facebook, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, Threads, Pinterest, Reddit, Gmail, Outlook, and cloud drives. Each uses OAuth: you're sent to the platform and back. Rows use the platform's brand SVG. Reddit publishes too: pick the subreddit under Publish to in the post editor, next to the account, the same place a Pinterest target picks its board. Bluesky has no redirect: its card opens a form for your handle and an app password.

Connecting work apps

Notion, Granola, v0, GitHub, Slack and Asana connect the same way and give Aden's chat their tools: search your Notion pages, open a GitHub issue, post in a Slack channel, add tasks in Asana, build a site in v0. Vercel, Suno and Trello are listed as coming soon.

Staying connected

Connections renew themselves. Every night Aden exchanges each connected account's token before it runs out, which is also what stops the connection itself from ageing out, so a Gmail or Dropbox account you connected once keeps working without you touching it again.

Some platforms can't be renewed without you: Instagram, Threads, Facebook and LinkedIn cap how long a connection lives no matter how it's used. When one of those is a week from stopping, or a renewal starts failing, everyone who can fix it (whoever connected the account, plus team or organisation admins) gets a notification and an email with a link straight to the reconnect button. You can turn those off per channel under Connected apps in notification settings.

Connecting from a desktop tab

In the desktop app, a page you have open under Custom already knows who you are on that platform. When the page belongs to an app Aden connects to, the toolbar shows Connect to Aden:

• Sign-in apps (SoundCloud, Instagram, YouTube, Gmail, Dropbox, …): the platform's consent page opens in the same tab. You're already signed in there, so it's one Allow. The tab goes back to where it was.
• Profile-link partners (Linktree, DistroKid, …): one click saves the page you're on as the team's link.
• Apps that need a key or token (Mailchimp, Shopify, Bluesky): the button opens Apps & integrations on the Web tab.

Once connected, the button turns into a check. Hover it to see which account is linked. Tabs opened under your personal logins don't show it, because connections belong to a team.

Connecting from your phone

The Aden app has the same list under Team → Apps. Tap a platform, the provider opens in a browser sheet, you approve, and the connection is there when you come back. Tap a connected account to disconnect it.

Your phone never holds the token. It asks Aden for the provider's sign-in link, the provider sends the approval back to Aden's servers, and the credentials are stored there, encrypted, exactly as they are when you connect from a laptop.

Connecting from where the link was added

A connection does not have to start on the integrations page. Wherever a team adds something that names a service we support, the row offers Connect and the button starts that provider's real OAuth flow, returning to the page it started on:

• Links (/app/teams/[teamId]/links): a platform row with no connection yet shows Connect beside it. Once connected the row shows the account name and can fill its own URL in.
• Email addresses (/app/teams/[teamId]/settings/email): a contact or booking address on Gmail or Microsoft shows Connect Gmail / Connect Outlook. A business domain is classified through its MX records first, so Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 addresses connect too. An address already connected as an inbox shows a badge instead.
