Set a removal date when you approve a song, and SubmitHub will take the song off your playlist automatically when the time's up. Great for keeping playlists fresh without having to remember what to prune and when.
How to schedule a removal
When approving a song for a Spotify playlist, one of the fields is "how long to keep it." Options range from 3 days up to 1 year, plus an "undecided / no time limit" option if you want to leave it open.
Once you pick a duration, we calculate a removal date and queue the song for removal on that date.
Editing or canceling a scheduled removal
You can manage pending removals from two places:
From either place you can:
What happens when the timer fires
We check for pending removals every 5 minutes. When a song's date is up, we remove it from Spotify and then mirror the removal to any synced platforms (YouTube, SoundCloud, Apple, Deezer, Tidal).
Locked tracks are never removed
If a song has been locked to a position (see the Locking track positions article), scheduled removals won't fire on it. Unlock the song first if you want it to come off.
If something removes the song early
If the song disappears from your playlist before the scheduled date (e.g. you or someone on your team removed it manually), we notice and email you. Helps us keep track of playlists where songs are getting pulled faster than they should be.
If a removal fails
Occasionally a removal can fail: expired auth tokens, Spotify rate limits, or the song having already been deleted from the catalog. We retry a few times and refresh your token in between. If it still fails, you'll get an email letting you know, with a link back to the playlist.
