Thanks, that was too easy.

I was able to get a Tile to link to and open the Spotify web player to my selected playlist (it has to open to a playlist, not just the page showing your playlists). Here is how to do it:

  1. In a web browser, navigate to play.spotify.com and login with your Spotify account.
  2. Click on Your Music on the right hand menu.
  3. Right click on the name of the playlist you would like to link the Tile to and select “Copy Spotify URL”.
  4. In the SmartTiles SmartApp, navigate to the Dashboard you want to place this Tile on.
  5. Select “More Tiles”, then “Links to other websites” at the bottom.
  6. Enter in a title for the Tile and then paste the URL you copied in step 3 into the URL field.
  7. In the ST app, click “Done” until you exit out of the SmartTiles SmartApp.
  8. When you refresh your SmartTiles dashboard, you should now see the new Tile that will open the Spotify web player to your selected playlist.

I’m not sure if this will work with the free version of Spotify (I’m on a family plan).

On my Android phone, when I click the Spotify Tile that I made, it actually opens up the Spotify App on my phone, not their web player in the browser.

I hope this helps someone else out there.
