One additional caveat this workflow addresses is it will compare the refreshed `Discover Weekly` tracks against your archive playlist's existing tracks to ensure only unique tracks are added to your archive playlist. This helps reduce clutter within the archive playlist. \n\n### Setup Instructions (Required)\n1. **Within your Spotify account, create a new playlist**\n  You may name this playlist whatever you like. The default name within the workflow is `Discover Weekly Archive`. If you decide on another name, ensure you update the `Switch` node output with the key of `arch` to the name of the playlist you set.\n\n2. **Create your Spotify credential(s) and update each Spotify node with your created credential**\n  Follow the instructions within the [n8n docs](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/credentials/spotify/) to create your Spotify credential, then select the credential in the `Get User's Playlists`, `Get Discover Tracks`, `Get Archive Tracks`, and `Add tracks to Archive playlist` nodes.\n\n3. **Activate the workflow to run workflow based on the Cron expression set in the `Schedule` trigger node.**\n\n### Optional Setup\n- Update the Cron expression within the `Schedule` trigger node with an earlier or later time if your `GENERIC_TIMEZONE` is set. You may also consider setting the workflow timezone as well. For assistance with Cron expressions, refer to the [n8n docs](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.scheduletrigger/#generate-a-custom-cron-expression).\n- Add nodes to the end of the workflow to send notifications, update a spreadsheet, or any other operation/action you'd like to perform in conjunction with archiving your Discover Weekly tracks\n- Setup a error workflow to handle any thing that goes wrong within the workflow. You can find an example [here](https://n8n.io/workflows/696-send-email-via-gmail-on-workflow-error/) or more information concerning handling errors within the [n8n docs](https://docs.n8n.io/courses/level-two/chapter-4/).\n"

This updated workflow will automatically archive your Spotify tracks to another manually created playlist, without the nuisance of duplicate tracks. It utilizes the latest verisons of n8n's [](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.scheduletrigger/),…
