Post New Spotify Device Announcements to Slack
When you add a new device to Spotify (phone, car, speaker), Notis posts the update to Slack. Your team stays informed without you saying a word.
Trigger
New Device Added
Triggers when a new device is added.
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
Ad-hoc device announcements create communication overhead, and teams miss context about where music comes from.
- Keep your team aware of your listening setup without manual communication
- Enable better coordination when working together on music projects
- Create context for playlists coming from different devices
- Reduce misunderstandings about where music contributions originate
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Spotify and Slack to Notis.
- 2Create an automation named 'Announce new Spotify devices'.
- 3Write the prompt: 'When I add a new device to Spotify, post a message to #announcements or #music with the device name and type'.
- 4Select 'New Device Added' as your trigger.
- 5Choose your notification channel (team channel or direct message).
- 6Test by adding a new Spotify device (e.g., a browser, phone, or speaker) and confirm the announcement appears.
Questions about this workflow
Will this post every time I log in on a new device?
Only when a genuinely new device is added to your Spotify account, not on repeated logins from the same device.
Can I control which channel receives the announcement?
Yes, specify your preferred channel in the automation prompt, e.g., '#team-music' or 'notify specific people'.
Can I include device details like location or device type?
Yes, ask Notis to include device information like 'Spotify just connected from my car' or 'new laptop setup'.
