A Cleaner Contact Surface, Top to Bottom
A new quick-fill contact card on the apply form, clickable contact details in the review workspace, and a handful of bug fixes for older applications.
- New apply-form contact card: identity row plus a checklist of every field the organization will receive
- Live preview of an opportunity's contact-field setup inside the application builder
- Contact and links section now sits at the top of every artist profile
A Cleaner Contact Surface, Top to Bottom
Your contact details (name, location, email, phone, website, socials) appear in a few different places: on your application as you fill it out, in the review workspace once an org opens your application, on your wallet pass, and on your public profile. Until now those surfaces had drifted apart in style and behavior. This release tightens them up.
The apply form is now a quick-fill checklist
When you start an application, the contact section used to be a static card with chips. It's now a thin identity row (your name, location, edit-profile shortcut) above an explicit checklist of the contact fields the organization will receive: a green check next to each field that's ready to send, and a "+ add (optional)" affordance on any extra field the organization asked for that you haven't filled in. You always see exactly what's going to ship with your application before you submit.
The review workspace gets clickable contact info
Once an application is submitted, the organization's review workspace renders the contact details as a form-style panel: every link is now actually clickable. Email opens your mail client, phone opens your dialer on mobile, website and social links open in a new tab, and there's a direct link to the artist's public Artsume profile. No more copying the chip text out by hand.
The apply-form footer finally tells the truth
Every organization can choose which contact fields they actually want from applicants: some only need an email, others want phone and full address. The "this organization will receive" footer is supposed to reflect that choice, but until now it always showed the platform default regardless of the organization's setup. So an opportunity that didn't ask for a phone number would still tell the artist "we'll receive your phone number." Confusing, and occasionally wrong.
The footer now reflects the organization's actual setup, opportunity by opportunity.
Older applications show contact details again
If you submitted an application before this update and an organization opened it in their workspace, the contact panel sometimes came up empty. We rebuilt those older records from your live profile so any organization reviewing past submissions now sees the contact details they expected.
Wallet pass: a couple of small upgrades
If you save your contact card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, two small things have changed:
- Your contact email shows up correctly. If you've set a separate contact email on your profile, the pass uses that. Otherwise it falls back to your account email. If you downloaded a pass before today, re-download it to pick up the new email.
- The location on the Google pass matches the Apple pass. They were drifting; they don't anymore.
The wallet pass is still a public, shareable artifact. Anyone you send your handle URL to can save your pass, the way you'd hand someone a business card.
Contact info now sits at the top of your profile
Your public artist profile (/a/<your handle>) shows a contact and links section with your email and phone (when you've turned them on), website, social links, and a one-click way to copy or share your handle. That section used to live below your statement; it's now the first thing visitors see when they land on your profile.
A better view inside the form builder
If you run an organization, the application builder has a panel called Artist Profile that shows which contact fields you'll collect from applicants. It used to be a flat banner with no preview. Now it shows a live list of the fields applicants will see, with a one-click jump to the Contact section of the builder if you want to change anything.
Head to your profile to review what's showing publicly, or to a draft application to see the updated apply-form layout. If something looks off, let us know at support@artsume.com.
