Riders

Sharing and sending your rider

Send a link, email the PDF, or revoke access when you need to.

You've written the rider. Now you have to get it to a venue. Plot gives you two ways: a public link you copy and paste wherever you like, or a direct email send from inside the app. Both can be revoked when the run is over.

The easiest way to share a rider is to flip it public. Plot gives you a URL like /plot/riders/pr-xxxxxxxx that anyone with the link can open. No account needed on their side.

Toggle on, copy the URL, paste it wherever.

  1. Toggle it on

    In the Share panel, flip the Public toggle. The link appears right below.

  2. Copy the link

    Hit the copy button. Paste it into an email, a WhatsApp thread, a booking portal, wherever the venue expects it.

  3. Toggle off when done

    After the tour or the gig, flip the toggle back off. The link stops working and shows a "This link has been revoked" page instead.

Sending by email from Plot

If you want to skip the copy-paste and let Plot email the venue directly, use the Send dialog.

The send dialog with recipient emails, an optional message, and a send button
Enter emails, add a short note, send.

Add one or more recipient emails. Add a short message if you want — something like "Hey, here's our rider for the Oslo show on April 28" goes a long way. Plot handles the actual email. Recipients get a clean, short email with the rider link.

If the rider is public, the email contains the shareable link. If it's private, Plot sends the PDF as an attachment instead. Either way, the venue ends up with what they need to prep your show.

Send status is tracked so you can see who got what and when.

What recipients see

When someone opens the public link, they see a clean, read-only version of your rider — the same sections, the same branding, just no editing.

Clean, professional, no clutter.

A prominent Download PDF button is always visible, so a venue can grab an offline copy if they want one. They can also just print the page directly. No login, no friction — they read, they act, they're done.

Revoking access

Plans change. An artist leaves your roster, a tour ends, a private rider leaked. Whatever the reason, revoking is one click.

In the Share panel, flip the public toggle off. The link immediately stops working for everyone. If anyone tries to open it, they see a short "This link has been revoked" page instead of the rider. You can flip it back on later and the same URL resumes — or you can leave it off permanently.

A simple sharing habit

  1. Keep a rider private by default

    Don't toggle it public until you actually need to share it.

  2. Share the link, not the PDF

    Paste the URL. Let the venue always see the current version.

  3. Revoke when the run ends

    After the show or tour, flip the toggle off. Old riders don't need to sit on the open web.

What's next

That's the full rider workflow. If you haven't already, have a look at Plot's stage plot editor — it plugs straight into the Stage Plan section of your rider. Head to the Plot overview for where to go next.
