Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

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#

Member Created on Patreon

Version:0.0.1

Key:patreon-member-created

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-member-created",
  name: "Member Created",
  description: "Emit new event for each created member",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...base.methods,
    getTriggerType() {
      return "members:create";
    },
  },
  async run(event) {
    const id = event.body.data.id;
    const member = event.body.data.attributes.full_name;
    const ts = new Date();

    console.log("Emitting event...");

    this.$emit(event.body, {
      id,
      summary: `New member: ${member}`,
      ts,
    });
  },
};

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

About Patreon#

Patreon is the best place for creators to build memberships by providing exclusive access to their work and a deeper connection with their communities.

Create Guild Channel on Discord Bot

Discord Bot Overview#

The Discord Bot API unlocks the power to interact with Discord users and channels programmatically, making it possible to automate messages, manage servers, and integrate with other services. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can create complex workflows that respond to events in Discord, process data, and trigger actions in other apps. This opens up opportunities for community engagement, content moderation, analytics, and more, without the overhead of managing infrastructure.

Action Authentication#

Discord Bot uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Discord Bot account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Discord Bot APIs in both code and no-code steps.

This app allows you to use the Discord API using your own Discord bot. If you don't want to use a custom bot, and you just need to use the Discord API, exit this screen and use the Discord app, instead.

If you want to use your own Discord bot, but haven't created one yet, see these instructions or watch this video. You'll need to add this bot to your server(s) to make successful API requests.

Once you've created your bot, you'll find the Bot token within the Bot section of your app. Enter that token below.
