PatreonInstall

Overview

This node interacts with the Patreon API to retrieve all members of a specified campaign. It is useful for automating workflows that require access to supporter/member data from Patreon campaigns, such as syncing member lists to CRMs, sending custom emails to patrons, or analyzing patron demographics.

Example scenarios:

• Exporting all members of a Patreon campaign to a Google Sheet.
• Sending personalized thank-you messages to new patrons.
• Integrating Patreon membership data with other marketing or analytics tools.
