Trigger#

New Pledge Received on Patreon

Description:Emit new event for each received pledge

Key:patreon-new-pledge-received

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";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...base,
  key: "patreon-new-pledge-received",
  name: "New Pledge Received",
  description: "Emit new event for each received pledge",
  version: "0.0.2",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...base.methods,
    getTriggerType() {
      return "members:pledge:create";
    },
  },
  async run(event) {
    const id = event.body.data.id || Date.now();
    const amount = event.body.data.attributes.campaign_pledge_amount_cents / 100;
    const ts = Date.parse(event.body.data.attributes.last_charge_date);

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

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

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.

Clerk Overview#

The Clerk API lets you manage user authentication and create secure, delightful user experiences in your apps. Within Pipedream's serverless platform, you can harness this API to automate workflows that trigger on user events, sync user data across apps, and maintain robust user management without the heavy lifting of building authentication infrastructure from scratch.
