How IFTTT helps automate Spotify

Have you ever done something for the thousandth time, and thought to yourself: I wish this could be done automatically? We've likely all been there, whether it be filling out an excel spreadsheet, forwarding that email, or checking the delivery date for a package over and over again.

As great as Spotify is, this concept also applies. Saving songs, curating and transferring playlists, and getting insights into your listening history can be streamlined with a couple clicks by using IFTTT. Our platform offers millions of integrations between all your favorite apps and services, and you can browse our ever-growing library of automations or create your own with our user-friendly Applet builder. Let's go over some details of how our Applets work so you can better understand how IFTTT works for you.

How IFTTT works

IFTTT operates on a simple logic of triggers and actions, mirroring our name - "If This, Then That." This logic forms the basis of all IFTTT applets. A trigger is an event that starts an applet, while an action is the event that is executed as a result.

For instance, consider an applet that posts your Instagram photos to Twitter. The trigger is the act of posting a photo on Instagram. The action is the automatic posting of that photo on Twitter.

Here's a breakdown of how triggers and actions work in IFTTT:

Trigger: The "this" in "If This Then That". It's the event that starts an applet. Triggers can be anything from posting a photo on Instagram to leaving your home according to your phone's GPS.

Action: The "that" in "If This Then That". It's the event that is executed as a result of the trigger. Actions can range from posting on Twitter to turning off your smart lights.

Additional conditions: Some services also offer additional conditions that can help level up your Applet beyond what was possible before. These include:

Query: Will gain additional information from Triggers. For example, you can use metrics such as links clicked, lights switched, or blogs posted. This can help you choose when to run an Applet, or to only run it under certain conditions.

Filter Code: This function is great for those with coding ability, looking to add more complex features. Filter Code allows you to input your own lines of JavaScript, to add new parameters to the Applet.

Delay: A simple yet very powerful feature, Delay will let you choose an amount of time between the Trigger and Action.

See where we're going with this? With these three features, added with the Trigger/Action relationship, you can create any automation you dream of. Remember, you can create Applets on IFTTT for free, so why wait?

Benefits of a Spotify and IFTTT integration

Integrating Spotify with IFTTT brings countless advantages to your music experience. Automation makes handling your music library easier and more enjoyable, giving you more time to listen to all your favorite tunes.

Linking with IFTTT allows effortless synchronization across various platforms. You can enjoy seamless music experiences by linking Spotify playlists to different apps or devices, for example sharing which song you listened to on your Strava run log each day.

Personalization is another significant benefit of using IFTTT and Spotify. With IFTTT, you can set Applets that cater to your music tastes. For instance, you can automate the addition of tracks to playlists based on mood, genre, or time of day. This customization creates a music library that evolves with your preferences.

You can also enable your Spotify to link with smart home devices and execute a whole bunch of awesome functions, like automatically starting your playlist when you walk through the door.

Finally, integrating Spotify with IFTTT opens doors to creativity. You can design unique automations that match your lifestyle. Whether it's setting morning routines with a perfect playlist or capturing significant music milestones, IFTTT empowers you to control your Spotify experience like never before.
