Overview
The Spotify Tracks booster fetches your recently played tracks from Spotify that overlap with your activity's time window and adds them to the description. Your followers can see exactly what music powered your workout, with artist names and track titles listed in order.
Configuration
Max Tracks (max_tracks)
Maximum number of tracks to display. Default: 10. Set lower for shorter descriptions.
Show BPM (show_bpm)
When enabled, displays the BPM (beats per minute) of each track alongside the title. Useful for runners who train to cadence-matched music.
Data Requirements
- Spotify connection — See Connecting Spotify.
- Active listening during the activity — Spotify must have been playing during the activity's time window.

Common Issues
No tracks found — Spotify wasn't playing during your activity, or the activity's timestamp doesn't overlap with your listening history.
Wrong tracks listed — Spotify's API provides "recently played" which may include tracks from before or after the activity if timestamps are close. The booster attempts to match the activity time window.
"Spotify connection expired" — Reconnect via Dashboard → Connections. Spotify OAuth tokens expire periodically.
Dependencies
