1.1 Workflow description

Title
Archive Spotify's discover weekly playlist
Workflow name
Archive Spotify's discover weekly playlist

This workflow will archive your Spotify Discover Weekly playlist to an archive playlist named "Discover Weekly Archive" which you must create yourself. If you want to change the name of the archive playlist, you can edit value2 in the "Find Archive Playlist" node.

It is configured to run at 8am on Mondays, a conservative value in case you forgot to set your GENERIC_TIMEZONE environment variable (see the docs here).

Special thanks to erin2722 for creating the Spotify node and harshil1712 for help with the workflow logic.

To use this workflow, you'll need to:

  • Create then select your credentials in each Spotify node
  • Create the archive playlist yourself

Optionally, you may choose to:

  • Edit the archive playlist name in the "Find Archive Playlist" node
  • Adjust the Cron node with an earlier time if you know GENERIC_TIMEZONE is set
  • Setup an error workflow like this one to be notified if anything goes wrong
