Patreon has Added an App Directory

Patreon has launched an App Directory. The App Directory makes it easy for creators to connect tools that help them grown their membership businesses and to energize patrons.

The App Directory is the go-to resource for discovering integrations that you can connect with your Patreon page.

Patreon is used by many creators, including podcasters. Patreon pointed out a few examples of how to use the App Directory. The Sanspants Radio podcast is using Patreon’s WordPress plugin to give their fans the benefits of paid membership. Fans can choose from various Patreon-powered membership tiers to receive access to patron-only content. The plugin can also provide patrons with an ad-free experience.

Patreon users can use Zapier to automatically add new patrons to their email list service. Zapier also helps you automatically segment your email list into various patron pledge levers, which makes it easier to send patrons their special rewards. Podcasters who are on Patreon can use the Sonix app (which is in the App Directory) to upload their audio or video files to Sonix and have them automatically transcribed and timestamped.
