YouTube and Spotify are powerhouses for music fans, and an IFTTT applet makes linking them effortless. Spot a must-hear track in a YouTube video? This simple automation adds it straight to your Spotify playlist.
Start by connecting your Spotify and YouTube accounts to IFTTT. Then, activate the applet—setup is minimal. Just name your playlist and set the search query (it defaults to the video's song title).

The magic happens through title matching: if the song exists on Spotify, it's instantly added to your playlist. We've relied on this for years to curate personalized mixes without manual effort.
This is one of countless ways IFTTT elevates Spotify. Explore more automations to supercharge your streaming—from smart home integrations to cross-platform syncing.
