Sync Spotify Liked Songs to Playlist with n8n + Gotify Alerts

Sync your Spotify Liked Songs to a playlist—automatically, with Gotify alerts

This n8n workflow keeps your chosen Spotify playlist perfectly in sync with your Spotify Liked Songs. On a schedule (or manually), it adds newly liked tracks, removes tracks you’ve unliked, and then sends Gotify notifications with counts and runtime—so you always know what changed.

What this workflow does

• Runs on a schedule (or you can run it manually) and uses a configured target playlist name and a start timestamp.
• Fetches all Spotify Liked Songs and sorts them by the time they were added.
• Loads your Spotify playlists, filters to the playlist whose name matches the configured destination name, and retrieves its current tracks.
• Compares tracks by track URI to determine what’s missing (to add) and what should be removed (to delete).
• Adds newly liked tracks to the destination Spotify playlist (with optional success counting).
• Deletes tracks no longer in Liked Songs from the destination playlist (with optional success counting).
• Sends two Gotify notifications: one summarizing tracks added and one summarizing tracks deleted, including elapsed runtime.

Use cases

• Create a “Liked Songs Archive” playlist that stays current as you like/unlike tracks.
• Maintain a curated playlist for a specific time window using the workflow’s start timestamp behavior.
• Give yourself operational visibility with Gotify—useful for SaaS operators and automation engineers who want confirmations without checking Spotify.

Technical details

• Spotify integration: requires permissions to read your library and manage playlists.
• Workflow trigger: schedule trigger (or manual run) with configuration for varplaylistto (destination playlist name).
• Core node logic: set, no op, sort, merge, filter, gotify.
• Gotify notifications: sends completion summaries for additions and deletions including counts and runtime.
