My Question or Issue

I am trying to use IFTTT to trigger a Spotify action of "Start playback". In the applet log, I see that it always fails, with the message "You must have an active device. None was found."

I've even tried ensuring my phone was unlocked and my Spotify app running at the time, but it still failed.
