How to set Spotify as alarm? If you're an Android user you can easily, with Google Clock. Thanks to a partnership between Spotify and Google, the Clock app works with Spotify, and you can connect your Spotify account to the Clock app and use your favorite songs as alarms directly. This capability is available to both free users and premium subscribers of Spotify. Here's how you can set a Spotify song as your alarm on the Clock app from Google:
Step 1. First, make sure you download the Google Clock app and the Spotify mobile app on your Android device. You can download them from the Google Play Store if you don't already have it.

Step 1. Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone/iPad, and tap Automation at the bottom of the screen. Then choose Create Personal Automation.
Step 2. Choose Alarm. Next, choose the Wake-Up alarm or tap Existing to pick your morning alarm > Done. With the first leg of steps set up, tap Next.
Step 3. Tap Add Action, search for Open App, and tap to add it.
Step 4. Now, tap the light blue "App" word. Choose Spotify from the app list.
Step 5. In the search bar at the bottom, type "Set Volume" to adjust volume action.
