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'.
