PatreonInstall

Overview

This n8n node interacts with the Patreon API to retrieve information about a specific member. In the context of the "Member" resource and the "Get a Member" operation, the node fetches detailed data for a single Patreon member using their unique Member ID. This is useful for workflows that need to look up supporter details, verify membership status, or personalize communications based on Patreon membership data.

Example scenarios:

• Fetching a member's current pledge status to grant access to exclusive content.
• Retrieving shipping address information for sending physical rewards.
• Checking if a user is an active patron before processing further automation steps.

Dependencies

• Patreon OAuth2 API credentials are required. You must configure the patreonOAuth2Api credential in n8n.
• Access to the Patreon API via a valid connected account.

Troubleshooting

Common issues:

• Invalid Member ID: If the provided Member ID does not exist or is incorrect, the node will throw an error from the Patreon API.
• Missing Credentials: If the OAuth2 credentials are not set up or have expired, authentication errors will occur.
• Insufficient Permissions: The connected Patreon account must have permission to access the requested member data.

Error messages and resolutions:

• "Request failed with status code 404": The Member ID is invalid or does not exist. Double-check the ID.
• "401 Unauthorized": Check your OAuth2 credentials and ensure they are correctly configured and have not expired.
• "403 Forbidden": The authenticated user does not have access to this member's data. Ensure the correct campaign and permissions.
