A bot for Facebook Messenger lets you access your Spotify Release Radar and Discover Weekly playlists from inside Messenger. Since it currently lacks an interface, here are the steps to follow to get new music recommendations delivered to Messenger.
1. Add the bot
You can add the bot by clicking this link.
2. Sign in
Tell it you want to sign in, by typing sign in
. Then login to Spotify & give the bot the necessary permissions.
3. Play something
You can now choose to play tracks on Spotify or get 30 second previews.
4. Extra commands
Got lost and want to bring back the playlist? Type current week
. You’ll also be able to tell it playlist 1 week ago
to get last week’s playlist, but first you’ll need to be using the bot for a while.
At the time of writing, there are still some bugs to iron out. If you run into any difficulties, you can contact the bot’s maker, Daniel Noshkin, on Twitter or on Product Hunt.
If you ever want to revoke the app’s access, you can find all apps that have access to your Spotify account in your settings.
