Frequently asked questions

No. Ceven uses the official Spotify Web API and OAuth 2.0 for all connections. When you link your account, you are redirected to the Spotify authorization page where you see exactly which permissions Ceven is requesting. Once you click agree, Spotify sends us a secure access token. We never see or store your password. You can manage or revoke this access at any time through your account settings on the Spotify website. This ensures that your login credentials remain private while still allowing the agent to manage your playlists and playback on your behalf.
This is a specific limitation of the Spotify API tier system. Spotify restricts the ability to modify the playback queue to users with a Spotify Premium subscription. If you are using a free account, the API will return a 403 Forbidden error when the agent attempts to call the add item to playback queue endpoint. Other functions like creating playlists or following artists still work for free users. If you upgrade your account to Premium, the agent will immediately gain the ability to manage your queue without any further configuration in Ceven.
The agent can only create and modify playlists for the account that has been authenticated through OAuth. It cannot create a playlist directly on another users profile unless that person also connects their account to the workflow. However, the agent can create a playlist on your account and then set the playlist details to public. Once public, the agent can provide the shareable link to other users or post it to a social media channel, allowing others to follow and save the collection to their own libraries.
The agent uses the Get Related Artists endpoint which leverages Spotify's internal machine learning models. These models analyze millions of user listening histories to find clusters of artists that are frequently played together or share similar sonic characteristics. When you ask for related artists, the agent sends the unique ID of the seed artist to Spotify, and Spotify returns a list of the most relevant matches. This is not a simple genre match but a behavioral match based on how the global Spotify community actually consumes music.
Yes, provided your speakers support Spotify Connect. The agent uses the Get Available Devices call to see every active device linked to your account. Once it identifies the device ID for your smart speaker or amplifier, it can target playback commands to that specific hardware. This allows you to build workflows that trigger music on a specific room speaker based on an external event, such as a calendar reminder or a smart home trigger, as long as the device is powered on and connected to the internet.
Spotify employs a rate limiting system to ensure API stability. If a workflow attempts to add hundreds of songs to a playlist in a few seconds, Spotify may return a 429 Too Many Requests error. Ceven handles this automatically using an exponential backoff strategy. The agent detects the rate limit response, reads the retry after header provided by Spotify, and pauses the workflow for the required duration before attempting the call again. You will see a slight delay in the workflow execution, but the process will complete without failing.
Yes, as long as you granted the user library read permission during the OAuth process. The agent can see all playlists you own, regardless of whether they are set to public or private. This allows you to use your private playlists as data sources for other workflows. For example, you could have the agent analyze the tracks in a private discovery playlist and then cross reference those artists with a database of touring dates to notify you when they are playing in your city.
Spotify imposes a general limit of approximately 11,000 playlists per user account. While it is unlikely a standard workflow will hit this ceiling, the agent is designed to check for existing playlists by name before creating a new one to avoid clutter. If you reach the hard limit set by Spotify, the API will return an error and the agent will notify you that the account limit has been reached. To free up space, you can use the agent to list and delete old or unused playlists.
