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#

GitHub Overview#

The GitHub API is a powerful gateway to interaction with GitHub's vast web of data and services, offering a suite of endpoints to manipulate and retrieve information on repositories, pull requests, issues, and more. Harnessing this API on Pipedream, you can orchestrate automated workflows that respond to events in real-time, manage repository data, streamline collaborative processes, and connect GitHub with other services for a more integrated development lifecycle.
