Frequently Asked Questions about Patreon + GitHub integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Patreon and GitHub

How do I integrate Patreon with GitHub?

Integrating Patreon with GitHub can be done using our platform by setting up a zap that connects the two services. You can start by selecting Patreon as your trigger app and then select triggers like 'New Member' or 'Member Pledge Updated'. Then, choose GitHub as your action app and select actions like 'Create Issue' or 'Add Collaborator' to automate the workflow.

What triggers from Patreon can be used in this integration?

When integrating Patreon with GitHub, you can use triggers such as 'New Member', 'Member Pledge Updated', and 'Campaign Updated'. These triggers will allow us to perform actions in GitHub whenever one of these events occurs on your Patreon account.

What actions can be performed in GitHub through this integration?

Through the integration with Patreon, you can perform several actions in GitHub such as creating issues for new patrons, adding collaborators when a member updates their pledge, or even updating repository information when there's a significant update on your campaign.

Can I automate adding patrons to my GitHub repository?

Yes, you can automate the process of adding new patrons to your GitHub repository by setting up a zap that uses the trigger "New Member" from Patreon and the action "Add Collaborator" in GitHub. This ensures that when someone becomes a new patron, they are automatically added to your specified repository.

Is it possible to create an issue in my GitHub repository when there is an update on Patreon?

Absolutely! You can set up a zap where any updates from members’ pledges or campaign changes on Patreon trigger a new issue creation in your selected GitHub repository. This helps keep track of any related tasks or feedback based on changes made by patrons.

How frequently does the integration sync between Patreon and GitHub?

The synchronization between Patreon and GitHub depends on how often you configure the zap to check for new data. Typically, our system checks for new data every 5 minutes for premium users and every 15 minutes for free users. However, specific timing may vary depending on server loads and user subscription levels.

Can I customize what happens when a member's pledge is updated on Patreon?

Certainly! You have the flexibility to customize various actions such as updating specific fields within your repositories or notifying team members through creating issues whenever a user's pledge is altered. Simply choose ‘Member Pledge Updated’ as your trigger event while setting up your zap and select desired actions within GitHub.
