Practical ways you can use Patreon and Google Drive
Log updated patrons data into Google Drive for tracking
When a patron updates their membership information on Patreon, Zapier will log the updated details into a spreadsheet hosted on Google Drive. This creates a centralized and accessible record of membership changes, helping business owners monitor patron trends effectively.
Business OwnerOrganize new social media assets using Google Drive
When a new member uploads files or content via Patreon, Zapier will automatically organize it by uploading the files to a specific folder in Google Drive. This ensures marketers always have access to the latest user-generated content without manual intervention, saving time while keeping campaigns updated.

Frequently Asked Questions about Patreon + Google Drive integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Patreon and Google Drive
How can I connect Patreon with Google Drive?
To connect Patreon with Google Drive, you can use our integration service. You'll need to set up a Zap where Patreon is the trigger app and an event such as 'New Pledge' is used as the trigger. Then, select Google Drive as the action app, so an action like 'Upload File' occurs whenever a new pledge is made.
What types of files can be uploaded to Google Drive during the integration?
During the integration, any file types supported by Google Drive can be uploaded. Typically, users upload documents or spreadsheets containing data about their patrons or financial reports generated after each pledge.
Is it possible to create folders automatically in Google Drive for new Patreon pledges?
Yes, you can set up Zaps that automatically create new folders in Google Drive whenever a new pledge is made on Patreon. By choosing 'Create Folder' as the action event in your Zap setup, each pledge triggers a unique folder creation.
Can I update existing files in Google Drive when there's a change on Patreon?
Certainly! You can configure your integration so that updates to patron information on Patreon trigger updates to existing files in Google Drive by selecting 'Update File' as your action in the setup process.
What if there are multiple pledges at once – how does that impact my space on Google Drive?
Each new pledge will follow through the Zap independently and upload its data according to your configured settings. This means receiving multiple pledges simultaneously could quickly fill up your allotted storage space on Google Drive if each one triggers a file or folder creation.
How do I manage authentication between Patreon and Google Drive for this integration?
We use OAuth2 for authenticating connections between Patreon and Google Drive. During initial setup, you'll be prompted to log into your accounts and grant permission for our platform to facilitate interactions between them securely.
Can I choose specific events from Patreon as triggers for actions in Google Drive?
Yes, our integration allows you to select specific events from Patreon like 'New Member Joining' or 'Payment Declined', which then act as triggers activating various actions within Google Drive according to your needs.
