3. The next thing you need to do is tap on the ‘Explore’ button. Now type ‘YouTube’ over that there and finalize your search. 
4. Once you’ve searched YouTube, you will find several options displayed below in a drop-down menu. 
5. From those options, choose the “Add songs from videos you like to a Spotify Playlist.”
6. After that, swipe the connect toggle that falls below this very option. 
7. Once you are done with this, you will be redirected to the IFTTT authorization page. 
8. There IFTTT service will ask about several permissions for authorizing this move. Simply tap on the allow button. 
9. Then you will be enquired regarding your Spotify credentials. Fill in the details and click on “Agree.”
10. And then you are done; you have now successfully synced your two most beloved music apps. 
11. So, if you happen to stumble upon any song on YouTube and like it, your Spotify will automatically add that song to your ‘YouTube’ playlist.
12. Additionally, we would like to tell you that if the song you like isn’t available on Spotify, it won’t be added. 
13. Plus, this syncing process is not instant. IFTTT functions every hour. So this song adding process will at most take an hour to complete. 
14. However, if you want your YouTube song to be  immediately added to your Spotify playlist, you will have to do it manually. 
15. To conduct this instant add procedure, visit the IFTTT page and click on the cogwheel icon it holds.
