This automation scenario allows you to connect RSS, Spotify, and Email.
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated bots using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.
RSS, Spotify and Email can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:
When this trigger fires in RSS
This Trigger fires every time a new item is added to the feed you specify.
Then these actions happen in Email and Email
This Action will search for a track and add the first result to a playlist you specify.
This Action will send you an HTML based email. Images and links are supported.
