The 5-minute flow
Create the gig (45 seconds)
Click + Gig. Enter title, date/time, venue. Save. The gig is in Draft state — only you and admins can see it.
Apply a call list (15 seconds)
On the gig page, tap Build team → Apply call list → pick the appropriate one (A-Team, Wedding A, Tour A-Team — Leg 1). All positions populate with the first-priority members for each role.
Spot-fix conflicts (1–2 minutes)
Soundcheck flags conflicts inline. For each:
- Hard conflict (already booked at that time) → click the member → Replace from the call list (auto-suggests the next priority).
- Soft conflict (marked unavailable) → same fix, or override if you’ve already cleared it with them.
Add performance fees (1 minute)
For paid gigs, click each position → enter the fee. Skip if your fees are baked into a template.
Publish + invite (15 seconds)
Hit Publish. Invitations send automatically to everyone on the team. They’ll get a push (mobile) and an entry in their Engagements inbox.
Common pitfalls
I forgot to apply a call list and built the team manually

No problem — but next time, save this combination as a call list (Teams → Call lists → New from gig) so you don’t repeat the work.

Conflicted members can still see the invitation, but the gig page keeps showing the warning. Replace them — the original invitation auto-revokes when you do.

Send a one-tap nudge from the gig page → Send reminder. This re-pushes the invitation without creating duplicates.
The venue isn't in my CRM yet

Type the new venue name and tap Create new — it’s added to your venue list inline. Fill in address and contact details from the venue page later. See Venues.
I need to change the time after publishing

Edit the gig → confirm the change. Confirmed members get a push notifying them of the edit. They don’t need to re-accept unless the change is significant (different day, different city — Soundcheck will prompt you).
Even faster: from a template
If this gig is similar to one you’ve done before, start from a template instead of from scratch — the position list, fees, and notes all carry over. Skip step 1 and step 4 above. See Templates and duplication.Even faster: from a bulk import
If you have a spreadsheet of gigs to set up, use Imports instead. The wizard does parse → map → preview → commit and creates dozens of gigs in one pass.Related
