Getting Started
The Patreon feature allows you to trigger events for when you receive a new Patreon subscriber. After a Patreon account is linked, you are able to assign a specific Patreon level to be equivalent to a subscriber. This means that any Patreon user who is at that Patreon level or higher will be treated no differently than a subscriber when it comes to things such as Role Requirements (EX: A command where you are required to be a Subscriber to run it).
This service works with the Patreon Subscribed Event and additional special identifiers that can be used can be found on the Donations Special Identifiers page.
Only new Patreon subs or upgrades will be alerted to us. We do not get notified via Patreon for monthly re-subscriptions. Patreon subscriptions don’t have a time length associated with them. They’re subscribers as far as roles are concerned, but they won’t meet qualifications for titles, because they don’t have a number of months set for them like a regular subscriber has. Patreon does support linking a Twitch account currently, however the user has to have their Twitch account set on their Patreon profile. Matching is done by Twitch user ID. If their Twitch information is not set on their Patreon profile (or you are using a streaming platform other than Twitch), the member is simply left unmatched (there is no automatic best-effort name-based matching fallback) until you manually link them. Manual linking can be done by editing the user on the User’s page, then selecting the associated Patreon account from the list at the bottom.
Events
Patreon Subscribed (1 Minute Delay)
This event runs whenever a user subscribes to your linked Patreon account. It provides all of the Donations special identifiers along with all of the standard User special identifiers that represent the user that subscribed. The following additional Special Identifiers are available:
- $patreontiername = The name of the Patreon tier that the user subscribed to.
- $patreontieramount = The total currency amount, along with the appropriate currency symbol, for the Patreon tier that the user subscribed to.
- $patreontierimage = The image associated with the Patreon tier that the user subscribed to.
