Archive Spotify's Discover Weekly Playlist

This n8n workflow automates the process of archiving your Spotify Discover Weekly playlist. It ensures you never lose track of those personalized song recommendations by regularly checking and potentially saving them.

What it does

This workflow is designed to be a starting point for a more complex automation. As provided, it performs the following steps:

1. Triggers on a Schedule: The workflow starts at a predefined interval (e.g., once a week).
2. Interacts with Spotify: It includes a Spotify node, indicating an intention to perform actions related to Spotify, such as fetching playlist data.
3. Conditional Logic: It incorporates an "If" node, suggesting that subsequent actions will depend on a specific condition being met (e.g., if new songs are found, or if the playlist has been updated).
4. Merges Data: A "Merge" node is present, which typically combines data streams from different branches of a workflow.

Note: While the workflow JSON provided sets up the structure for these actions, the specific operations for the Spotify node (e.g., "get playlist," "add tracks") and the conditions for the "If" node are not fully configured in this base definition. This workflow serves as a robust template to build upon.

Prerequisites/Requirements

• n8n Instance: A running n8n instance to host the workflow.
• Spotify Account: A Spotify account is required to interact with the Spotify API.
• Spotify Credentials: You will need to set up Spotify OAuth2 credentials in your n8n instance.

Setup/Usage

1. Import the Workflow: Import the provided JSON into your n8n instance.
2. Configure Spotify Credentials:
   • Locate the "Spotify" node.
   • Click on "Credential" and select an existing Spotify OAuth2 credential or create a new one. Follow the n8n documentation for setting up Spotify OAuth2 credentials.
3. Configure the Schedule Trigger:
   • Locate the "Schedule Trigger" node.
   • Adjust the schedule to your preference (e.g., weekly, daily) to determine how often the workflow runs.
4. Flesh out Spotify Actions:
   • In the "Spotify" node, configure the specific operation you want to perform (e.g., "Get a Playlist," "Add Tracks to a Playlist").
   • Specify the Discover Weekly playlist ID (you can usually find this in the Spotify URL when viewing the playlist in a browser).
5. Define Conditional Logic:
   • In the "If" node, define the condition(s) that should determine the flow's path. For archiving Discover Weekly, this might involve checking if the playlist has new tracks since the last run, or if a specific date has passed.
6. Add Archiving Logic:
   • Connect the "True" branch of the "If" node to further nodes that will handle the archiving. This could involve:
     • Creating a new playlist (using another Spotify node).
     • Adding the tracks from Discover Weekly to the new archive playlist.
     • Sending a notification to Slack, Discord, or email (using respective n8n nodes) to confirm the archive.
7. Activate the Workflow: Once configured, activate the workflow in n8n.
