    What is IFTTT?

    IFTTT, available as both a free web-based service and mobile app, works by creating connections between popular apps and services, allowing them to work together seamlessly.

    The basic idea behind IFTTT is to create "Applets" or sets of instructions that trigger when certain conditions are met. This can be turning on the lights automatically when you enter your house, for example.

    Founded in 2011, IFTTT has been used by over 25 million individuals around the globe to automate both business and home tasks, saving time and increasing efficiency. It's commonly used to connect disparate services and systems, making all products and services work well together in a way that instills user confidence. Best of all, it's free and only takes a couple of minutes to set up.

    The magic behind our Spotify integrations

    Spotify can help you discover and listen to millions of songs, podcasts, and audio content, but our Spotify integrations take this experience to the next level by automating and enhancing how you interact with Spotify. Whether you want to create playlists based on your listening habits, share updates on social media, or sync your music with your smart home devices, IFTTT makes it easy to personalize and automate your Spotify experience.

    First, let’s explain how our Spotify integrations work. We have 9 triggers, 23 queries, and 8 actions designed to streamline and enhance your Spotify experience. Triggers tell an Applet to start, queries provide data, and actions are the end result of an Applet run.

    By combining these triggers, queries, and actions, our integrations provide a comprehensive toolkit for automating your Spotify activities. Here are some examples:

    One of our triggers for our Spotify integrations is: New saved track. This Trigger fires every time you save a new track to Your Music on Spotify.

    If you save a new track on Spotify, it will automatically be added to your liked tracks on SoundCloud. spot1

    Now, let's take a look at a query: Get track details. This query returns details about a track.

    When you play a new track on Spotify, automatically log the track details in a Google Spreadsheet. spot2

    Lastly, let’s take a look at one of our actions: Save a track. This Action will search for a track you specify and save the first matching result to Your Music on Spotify.

    When you like a song on YouTube, automatically add it to Your Music on Spotify. spot3
