How To Use SmugMug

0:00 Once your photos are edited and the gallery is live on SmugMug, the last step is getting it to your client. The SmugMug integration lets us do that right from the booking without copying links or digging up passwords. Let's connect it. Go to Manage, then Business Settings, then integrations. Find Smug Mug in the gallery section and click Connect. Sign in to Smug Mug and authorize the connection. You'll land back in Check Cherry, and the integrations page shows which SmugMug account is connected. Now let's send to gallery.

0:32 Open a booking and click manage on the deliverables panel. Click browse Smg Mug Albums. Search for the album by name and click it. The gallery URL and instructions fill in automatically. If the album is password protected, Smug Mug won't share the existing password with us, so Check Cherry asks you about it. You can type in the password if you know it or reset it to a new one. Just know that resetting changes the password on SmugMug too, so anyone with the old one will need the new one. Either way, the password goes into the instructions, so your client gets it with the link.

1:07 At the top of the page, use send via email or send via SMS. The message is already filled in with the client's name, the link, and the instructions. Give it a quick read and send. It's worth customizing the send gallery template once so it sounds like you, since you'll be sending it after every event. Smug Mug also shows up in your media library, so you can pull real event photos onto your packages and proposals, and that's it.
