To authorize, create an API key in the Blogs API with the required scopes and grant Patreon access. Use the scope emails/builder.readonly as provided and any blog write privileges you need.
In the Patreon integration, approve OAuth or API key based access so Blogs API can read blog data and publish updates on your behalf. Follow prompts in Patreon and the Blogs API app settings to complete the connection.

Use this glossary to understand the elements and processes involved in connecting Patreon with Blogs API, including endpoints, slugs, OAuth, and webhooks.

Use Patreon tiers to drive blog topics and publish posts that correspond to each tier.
Create an API key in Blogs API with the required scopes and note the endpoint paths you will use.
Authorize Patreon to access Blogs API resources by following the OAuth flow or providing the API key on the Patreon side.
In your account, set triggers (e.g., new post, new patron) and map actions to the appropriate endpoints.
Yes. The Blogs API is designed for no-code developers and can connect to Patreon through OAuth or API keys. Start by generating the required API credentials in the Blogs API dashboard and then authorize the connection from Patreon. Once connected, you can map events to actions without writing code. If you run into permissions issues, double-check the scopes (emails/builder.readonly and blogs write/read) and ensure the Patreon app is granted the same level of access.
Required permissions include read access to blog content and email builder data, plus the ability to create or update posts if you intend to publish from Patreon events. Ensure the scopes match the endpoints you plan to use (for example, blogs/post.write and emails/builder.write). Consult the Blogs API docs for the exact scope mappings and confirm with your team which endpoints you will expose to Patreon.
Absolutely. You can trigger blog post creation from Patreon events by wiring Patreon signals to the POST /blogs/posts endpoint. When a patron subscribes or a tier changes, you can automatically publish a new post or update an existing one. Test this in a staging environment first to confirm that titles, slugs, and categories map correctly before going live.
Patreon subscriber emails can be managed through the emails/builder endpoints. Create, schedule, and send targeted emails to patrons based on their tier or activity. You can also update subscriber lists as patron data changes. Always keep consent and compliance in mind when sending automated emails and provide an option to unsubscribe where required.
If the connection fails, verify API credentials and scopes, re-authorize the app, and check that the endpoints you are invoking are correct and live. Review error messages from both Patreon and Blogs API for clues, and ensure network access (IP allowlists) is configured properly. Consult the integration logs in both systems to identify where the failure occurs and re-test the flow after making changes.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
