What is your goal?
Connection to Spotify
What is the problem & what have you tried?
Hello Make Community,
I’m having trouble connecting Spotify in Make and would appreciate your help.
It worked till last week.
Issue
When I try to create a new Spotify connection, I receive the following error:
Unexpected error: {"status":401,"message":"Valid user authentication required"}
What I’ve already verified
I created a completely new Spotify Developer App.
I’m using the new Client ID and Client Secret in Make.
The Spotify Developer App contains the following Redirect URI:
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/spotify/
The Redirect URI matches the one Make sends to Spotify.
The Spotify user I’m logging in with is the same user that is listed in the app’s User Management .
I deleted the old Make connection and created a completely new one.
I even created a brand new Make scenario containing only a Spotify module.
Authorization Request
The authorization request sent by Make is:
https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize?redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.integromat.com%2Foauth%2Fcb%2Fspotify%2F&state=4c167097c8b3a6384e7d&response_type=code&client_id=954a9070ec234d3f9fadd41b77d77b66
Spotify accepts the Redirect URI (if it is not configured correctly, Spotify returns the expected “redirect_uri: Not matching configuration” error).
However, after authentication, Make reports:
Unexpected error: {"status":401,"message":"Valid user authentication required"}
My question
Could you please verify whether this is an issue with the Spotify connector or the OAuth token exchange on Make’s side?
Is there anything else required for the current Spotify integration besides:
a valid Spotify Developer App,
matching Redirect URI,
correct Client ID/Secret,
and an authorized Spotify user?
Thank you for your help.

Hi @marexx
It’s not just you – a few other users have been experiencing an issue with Spotify recently. So far, we have not found the root cause on our side causing this issue. It looks like it might be on Spotify’s side, but we are looking into this problem now. I will be back here with an update as soon as I know more

Yes great. Connection works.
but the required Scope not.
I’m Using “Spotify Api Call” for “/v1/me/player/recently-played”
PS i used a workaround.
for consent i used the modul für recent Playlist or sth like that.
the i switched to Api Call, that seems to work
Hi,
Here at my setup it isn’t working. Somehow I’m confused about what the correct redirect URL must be in the Spotify app; I have tried with https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/spotify2 and https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/spotify . Created a new app, new keys, user is added, and working.
When I reauthorize, I still get “redirect_uri: Not matching configuration”
Hi,
That error means the redirect URL in your Spotify app doesn’t exactly match what Make/Integromat sends.
Fix it like this:
Open your Spotify module → click “Add connection” → copy the redirect URI shown there (don’t type it from memory).
Paste that exact URL into your Spotify Developer Dashboard → Save.
Check for sneaky mismatches: trailing slash, http vs https, extra spaces.
Wait 1–2 min (Spotify’s changes take a moment to apply).
Create a brand new connection in your scenario (not reauthorize the old one) so it uses your new app’s keys.
Try again — should work.
Still stuck? Just reply here and let me know how it goes — happy to dig deeper with you.
Hello Joshua,
When I add a connection, there is no redirect url information on that screen. Perhaps I do it in the wrong place, I start from the shopify app that I add to a scenario, there I ignore the the excisting connection and click add.
I mean Spotify of course, not Shopify
Hi,
Just to let you know, it is now working after a few days in a row trying over and over again. I did, however, just use the re-direct URL like mentioned in the documentation of Make.
I guess it wasn’t fixed in my region yet, but now it seems to be working. Thanks for the help.
