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.

Mailersend Overview#

The MailerSend API integrates with Pipedream to create powerful email automation workflows, enabling you to send transactional emails, create and manage templates, and track email activities like opens or clicks. With these capabilities, you can automate routine communications, personalize mass mailings based on user actions or data, and gain insights into your email campaign performances, all within the context of a serverless Pipedream workflow.
