2. Select **Create an app**.
3. Enter an **App name**, like `n8n integration`.
4. Enter an **App description**.
5. Copy the **OAuth Redirect URL** from n8n and enter it as the **Redirect URI** in your Spotify app.
6. Check the box to agree to the Spotify Terms of Service and Branding Guidelines.

9. Copy the **Client Secret** and enter it in your n8n credential.
