#### 3. What Happens Next

* The system will attempt to pull **all events** listed on your Bandsintown profile.
* Events will be **imported in Sales Mode** with the following details:
  * **Date**
  * **Venue**
  * **Ticket link** (if available)

#### 4. Switching Events to RSVP Mode

If you want to collect fan interest instead of directing them to a ticket link, you can switch an event to RSVP Mode:

1. Locate the imported event in your Tour Link dashboard.
2. Click the event and select **Switch to RSVP Mode**.
3. Confirm the change.

#### 5. Troubleshooting

* **What if I enter the wrong Bandsintown shortlink?**
  * The system will attempt to pull dates but will fail if the link is invalid or broken.
  * Double-check that you’re using the correct **<https://bandsintown.com/a/>...** link.
* **What if some events are missing?**
  * Only events listed publicly on your Bandsintown profile will be imported.
  * If events aren’t showing up, check your Bandsintown listing to ensure they are properly published.
