We'll use the Spotify API to search for that song and send the user back the first result to see if that's what they wanted. We'll assume that when a user sends their first message it is a song title they want to add to the playlist. We're going to build a conversational interface to interact with the Spotify API. Now it's time to hook up the Spotify API.

Send a message to the WhatsApp sandbox number and you will get a response back saying 'Hello World!'. Take the URL ngrok generates, add the /twilio/messages path and enter it as the URL when 'A MESSAGE COMES IN' for the WhatsApp channel. Open up the Gemfile and under the line that includes RSpotify, add twilio-ruby:

This will make writing TwiML, the XML that Twilio understands and takes direction from, easier.

To do so we will install the twilio-ruby gem. We will use this to respond to incoming messages and add songs to our playlist. When you send a message to a WhatsApp number that you control with Twilio, Twilio will send an HTTP request, or webhook, to an application URL we provide. Now it's time to build the integration between WhatsApp, Twilio, and Spotify. You will find the playlist that the script just created empty and embedded in the page. Copy these into config/env.yml, restart the application, and open again. Once you have been directed back to the application you will see your Spotify user ID, access token, refresh token, and playlist ID on the page in front of you. All of this is handled by the RSpotify gem and omniauth, you can check out the config required to make this work in config/initializers/rspotify.rb. Click the link and follow the OAuth process. Open the app at There will be a link to 'Sign in with Spotify'.

I've started the project off, so clone or download the repo from GitHub and checkout the getting-started branch. Now that credentials are sorted, we can start to build our app. Click on 'edit settings', enter the redirect URL and click 'add'. There's one more thing we need to do here. We will need the Client ID and Client Secret from this page. Once these steps are complete we will see the application dashboard. Next we are asked if this is a commercial integration choose 'no'.Name it, I called mine WhatsPlaying, provide a short description and check what app type it is, I chose 'website'

First, fill in some details about the app.

From the Spotify developer dashboard create a new application and follow the 3 step process. To work with the Spotify API we will need to generate some API credentials.

ngrok, so we can tunnel through to our locally developed application to use webhooks.

The WhatsApp sandbox set up in our Twilio account.

Rails and bundler, which can be installed with gem install rails bundler.

To build this application we will need a few things: In this post we are going to build a WhatsApp bot that can do all of the above using Ruby on Rails. With the Twilio API for WhatsApp we can let our friends send in a song whenever they are struck by inspiration. We can fix this by building our own collaborative playlist that only allows additions using the Spotify Web API.

Spotify has collaborative playlists, but I don't like how they let your friends re-order and delete songs from the list. Sharing music over playlists is a great way to discover new and old music.
