To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger#

Post Published on Patreon

Version:0.0.1

Key:patreon-post-published

View on GitHub

Patreon Overview#

Pipedream's integration with the Patreon API enables creators to automate interactions with their patrons, manage memberships, and streamline content delivery. By leveraging Pipedream's ability to connect with hundreds of apps, creators can set up custom workflows that trigger actions based on Patreon events, like new pledges, or that perform regular tasks, like sending messages to patrons.

Trigger Code#

import base from "../common/base.mjs";

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "patreon-post-published",
  name: "Post Published",
  description: "Emit new event for published post",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  hooks: {
    ...base.hooks,
    async deploy() {
      console.log("Fetching historical events...");
      const response = await this.patreon.listPosts({
        campaign: this.campaign,
        params: {
          "page[count]": 25,
          "sort": "-created",
          "fields[post]": [
            "title",
            "content",
            "published_at",
            "is_paid",
            "is_public",
            "tiers",
            "url",
          ],
        },
      });
      for (const post of response.data) {
        this.emitPostEvent(post);
      }
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...base.methods,
    getTriggerType() {
      return "posts:publish";
    },
    emitPostEvent(post) {
      this.emitEvent({
        event: post,
        id: post.id,
        summary: `New post: ${post.attributes.title}`,
        ts: Date.parse(post.attributes.published_at),
      });
    },
  },
  async run(event) {
    console.log("Emitting event...");
    const post = event.body.data;
    this.emitPostEvent(post);
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Patreon	`patreon`	`app`	This component uses the Patreon app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Campaign	`campaign`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Patreon uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Patreon account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Patreon and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Patreon API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

identityidentity[email]campaignsw:campaigns.webhookcampaigns.posts
