IFTTT Add track to playback queue is not working properly

[Abask]

When I use IFTTT to add track to playback queue is not working properly. When I'm playing on Spotify connect device, it haven't show anything that have been added to Queue and is not played. Then when I switch to play on phone, those added track appears and works fine, but...  When I play on phone and use this IFTTT function, it adds there some blank/null track to queue (see screenshot) which after start to "play" stop everything. I need to find new song to play, or playlist again. Double trouble ..

Hey @Abask,

Thanks for posting in the Community.

Unfortunately, we're not able to help here since IFTTT is not owned by Spotify. We'd recommend reaching out to the developers of this 3rd party service for more info/troubleshooting steps.

Take care,

Thank you very much, Mihail, I also reported it to IFTTT as I don't know on which side is the problem.. we will see. Anyway, can you please help me to find an alternative solution?

I was trying to use IFTTT to add some specific songs to the queue. The idea is to have a button on the screen of phone or even better on watch (both seem to be possible with IFTTT) to add a specific song to the Queue, so there is a really quick way (one click) to add it. 

I was also thinking about adding some specific song in case of any trigger .. for example have specific song in queue to notify me to charge phone, watch, headphones etc. Some specific song that can tell me it is time for some more actions .. like take a break in work and stand up from the computer or go for lunch. Use of music for this is a very sympathetic way to do it anonymously without any unpleasant noise (beep or anything), and also without the necessity of checking devices.

Hey @Abask,

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any alternative solutions and you probably know that this isn't currently possible in the Spotify app, though I really appreciate your feedback and the time you took to share your suggestions. Feel free to also post them in our Ideas board where other users can vote for them 🙂

Take care,
