How to add clickable URLs & hyperlinks to your Spotify playlist descriptions.

Have lots of followers on your playlist? Add URLs to your playlist description to drive traffic to your own pages!

Written by Jason Wohlstadter

Many artists & music labels spend a lot of time cultivating their playlist, and once you start to gain hundreds of followers, wouldn't it be nice to include URLs & hyperlinks in the description of your playlist, to help drive traffic to your other pages? Here's how!

REQUIREMENTS - GET VERIFIED

  • Including clickable URLs & hyperlinks in your playlists requires your artist profile or user account to be VERIFIED. Without an unverified account, you cannot include clickable links in your playlist description.

OK, I'M VERIFIED -- NOW WHAT?

Once you're verified, adding links to your playlist descriptions is easy. There's one catch, though: you need to use the desktop app, not the mobile app.

  1. Open the Spotify Desktop App or log into the Spotify Web Player.

  2. Click Your Library in the left sidebar and select the playlist you own.

  3. Click directly on the Playlist Name or the current description text to open the Edit Details dialogue box.

  4. Go to the Description text box field.

  5. Type or paste your web address directly as raw text (e.g., linktr.ee/username or yoursite.com).

  6. Click Save
