Boost Community Spirit With Spotify Playlists

Music has a unique power to bring people together. If you’re hosting an event where community is at the heart, why not let participants co-create the soundtrack? Adding a Spotify playlist to your Ventla app can build buzz before arrival, set the mood during breaks, and even keep the energy going after hours.

Imagine letting everyone add their favorite tracks to the playlist for the evening party, or sharing a curated set of songs that reflect the event’s theme. It’s an easy way to spark interaction and make people feel part of something bigger.

Here’s how to embed a Spotify playlist into Ventla:

1. Create an information post of the type “Webpage.” In the field URL to page, paste the embed link in this format:

https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/[your playlist ID]?utm_source=generator&theme=1

2. Find your playlist ID on Spotify.

  • Go to your playlist on Spotify.

  • Click the “three dots” ► Share ► Copy link to playlist.

  • The link will look like this: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7jiq1ZeKIGzm4owodeWkou?si=67f3cce291e7470e

  • The playlist ID is the set of characters between /playlist/ and the ?. In this example: 7jiq1ZeKIGzm4owodeWkou.

3. Replace the ID in the embed link. Insert your playlist ID into the embed link and paste it into your Ventla information post.

4. Customize the look. At the end of the link, you’ll see theme=0 or theme=1.

  • theme=0 = default dark gray

  • theme=1 = color from the playlist’s image You can upload your own playlist image to influence the color scheme.

5. Update and refresh your app. Check that the player appears correctly and plays the 30-second previews. Attendees can click through to Spotify to hear the full tracks.

💡 Creative ideas for playlists in your event app:

  • A collaborative party playlist where everyone adds their favorite dance floor tracks.

  • A curated podcast list to prepare participants before a meeting or conference.

  • A quiz element where hidden clues are found in lyrics of songs from the playlist.

  • Or simply a thematic soundtrack to build anticipation and mood.

Remember: participants will need their own Spotify accounts to enjoy full playback, but even the previews can spark curiosity and conversation.

By weaving music into your event app, you’re giving your community one more way to connect — before, during, and after the event.
