Patreon events, straight into Notion
Every new patron, pledge change, or cancellation — posted to Notion the moment it happens. No Notion app to install, no monthly automation subscription.
The gap this fills: Patreon doesn't ship an official Notion app. If you want new patron, pledge change, or cancellation to show up in Notion the moment it happens, the usual options are a paid third-party bot, custom code, or routing everything through a $20–50/month automation platform just to move one webhook from one URL to another. ZestyGlue does exactly that one thing for $9/month.

A real Patreon event, shown as ZestyGlue formats it for Notion.
Setup — about two minutes
- Create the connector. In ZestyGlue, start a new Patreon → Notion connector. You'll get a unique webhook URL right away.
- Point Patreon at it. Go to Creator's Page → Webhooks → Create Webhook, paste in your ZestyGlue webhook URL, and select the triggers you want (e.g. members:pledge:create).
- Copy the secret. Patreon shows a secret for your webhook — paste that into ZestyGlue's connector setup so every event can be verified as genuinely from Patreon.
- Point Notion at ZestyGlue. Create an integration at notion.so/my-integrations, share your target database with it, then copy the database ID from its URL and enter both into ZestyGlue. The database needs a “Name” title property.
Tip: Patreon's webhook triggers are granular — enable members:pledge:create for new patrons and members:pledge:delete for cancellations if you want both sides of the patron lifecycle in the same channel.
Events you can forward
members:pledge:create
members:pledge:update
members:pledge:delete
members:create
Questions
Is my Patreon Webhook Secret safe with ZestyGlue?
It's encrypted at rest with Fernet symmetric encryption before it ever touches disk, it's never logged, and it's never displayed again in the dashboard after you enter it — only a masked placeholder is shown.
Does this show the pledge amount, not just that someone joined?
Yes — the notification includes the patron's currently entitled amount when Patreon provides it in the payload.
Can I get notified about cancellations, not just new patrons?
Yes — enable members:pledge:delete as a trigger alongside members:pledge:create.
Do I need a paid Notion plan?
No, Notion's free plan supports integrations and the API calls ZestyGlue makes to create a new row.
What happens if my ZestyGlue subscription lapses?
Events are silently dropped rather than causing errors on Patreon's side — Patreon never sees a failure response, so it won't retry aggressively or flag your webhook as broken. Your dashboard will simply stop showing new events until you resubscribe.
