Slack to Spotify Bot

A simple Slack bot that listens for song recommendations in a Slack channel and automatically adds them to a Spotify playlist!

Features

• Listens for messages in a specified Slack channel.
• Extracts song name and artist from messages formatted as song name - artist from the first line of the message.
• Adds the song to a predefined Spotify playlist.
• Reacts with emojis to indicate processing status.

Setup

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7+
• A Slack workspace with a bot token.
• A Spotify Developer account with API credentials.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/javierferrersb/slack-spotify-playlist-bot.git
   cd slack-spotify-playlist-bot

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Create a .env file with your credentials:

   SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=your-slack-bot-token

Running the Bot

How It Works

1. A user posts a message in the format song name - artist.
