Automatic Spotify Release Alerts in Discord

When an artist your community follows drops a new single or album, the notification should land in Discord on its own. Here's how to track Spotify releases automatically.

Music communities live and die by being early. When an artist drops a new single, the people in your server want to be first to hear it — not find out a week later. CloudMod's Spotify Releases plugin watches the artists you care about and posts the moment something new lands.

How it works

You add an artist, pick the target channel and optionally a role to mention. CloudMod checks each tracked artist for new releases and, when one appears, posts an embed with the cover art, the release date and a direct link to open it on Spotify. Spotify has no live push for releases, so the bot checks on a steady schedule — new drops show up within minutes, with nothing for you to do.

Add an artist by name or link

Adding an artist is forgiving: type a name and CloudMod matches it, or paste a Spotify artist link or ID if you want to be exact. The artist is stored by their stable Spotify ID, so a rename never breaks your tracking, and the dashboard shows the real artist name and image so your list stays readable.

Singles only, or albums too

Some servers only want the big drops; others want everything. A per-artist toggle decides whether albums count or you stick to singles. CloudMod also skips pre-saves dated in the future and de-duplicates regional re-releases, so you get one clean post per actual release instead of a wall of duplicates.

No back-catalogue spam

When you first add an artist, CloudMod records their latest release as the baseline. You're only notified about what drops after that — adding an artist never floods your channel with their entire history.

Getting-started tip

Add one artist first and point it at a quiet channel. Once the embed colour, the role ping and the cadence look right, roll out the rest of your roster to your main music channel.
