Hi, I’m a creator (not a developer) considering using n8n to automate content delivery to patrons via email. When a new patron subscribes, n8n would detect it via webhook and automatically send them the full content by email.
My questions:
1. Is this use case permitted under Patreon’s Terms of Service?
2. Does Patreon support webhooks for new membership/subscription events?
3. Any restrictions on automated interactions with the API for content delivery purposes?
Follow-up question after reading related topics:
I understand the Patreon API currently does not support sending messages to patrons directly. My workflow is different, I plan to send emails via an external SMTP server, not through Patreon’s internal messaging.
So my specific question is:
Does the Patreon API provide access to patron email addresses? If a new patron subscribes and triggers a webhook, can n8n then call the API to retrieve that patron’s email address for external email delivery?
This is the core of my use case, not sending via Patreon’s system, but via my own email infrastructure.
