What Spotify search does
Spotify search only helps you find songs and fill in the title and artist. A song added this way has an Open in Spotify link for you. Vowly does not play music, does not connect to your Spotify account, and cannot create or export a Spotify playlist. Guests see the title, the artist and your note, without a player.
Song requests from guests
Once your playlist has at least one song, the Music section appears on your guest page. Guests see the playlist and can send a request with Send request: a song title and, if they like, the artist, their name and a note.
Requests arrive under Requests, one card per song however many guests asked for it. Approve and Reject only mark the request for you; Add to playlist puts the song on the playlist guests see.
