## What this shortcut does

Shazam → Spotify
This shortcut is an easy way to let Shazam identify the currently playing song and add it to a predefined Spotify playlist.

Login to your IFTTT account
Click on your profile picture (upper right) and select "Create"

Playlist name → click "Add Ingredient" → choose Value1
Search query → click "Add Ingredient" → choose Value2
Artist name → click "Add Ingredient" → choose Value3
