Mass message Patreon members of a tier

1. In Creator studio, click Audience to open the Relationship manager, the screen where Patreon bulk direct messages start.
2. Leave the Active status selected, click Filters, set Member type to Paid members and tick the Tier or tiers that get the benefit.
3. When the benefit is only for members who paid this month, open the Benefit Eligibility Status tab instead and click View for the current or previous month.
4. Tick the checkbox at the top of the list to select everyone, click Message, write the text and click Send.
5. Save Filters keeps the filter, but the text, the month and the check that nobody is missing are redone every month, and a skipped Active filter sends the link to people who already left.

Send this month's download link to every active paid Gold and Platinum member. Show me the count before it goes.

1. 01

   Resolve the audience

   list_tiers matches the tier names in your request. "Gold and up" becomes every tier priced at or above Gold, and the agent names those tiers back to you before anything else.

2. 02

   Count the real recipients

   list_members with paid and active per tier gives the number that will receive the message. Members who joined in the last day are named, since their Welcome note may already carry the same link.

3. 03

   Check the text, not just the list

   The agent looks for an empty link, a leftover placeholder such as [LINK] and last month's name. A Patreon message cannot be taken back, so a wrong link would need a second message to everyone.

4. 04

   Avoid a double send

   list_chats shows the last message in each thread. If this month's text already went to these members, the agent stops and tells you instead of sending it again.

5. 05

   Send once, then catch late joiners

   message_tier sends after your OK. On the next run, members who joined since the send date get the same text one by one through send_message, so nobody in the tier misses the month.

• Patreon lets you direct message only current or former paid members, including members whose payment was declined; people who were only ever free members cannot receive a direct message.
• A Patreon bulk message opens a separate private thread with each recipient, so replies arrive one by one in your inbox instead of one shared thread.
• Patreon direct messages cannot be deleted after sending, and they cannot carry pictures; Patreon suggests sharing image sets as links.
• Patreon recommends filtering by Member type Paid members and Status Active payment before a bulk message, so the text skips people who no longer want your updates.
• A promo code added as a benefit in the Patreon tier editor is emailed by Patreon to new members, and to existing ones if you choose, so a code alone needs no direct message.

message_tier and send_message ask for your OK by default. To run it monthly without you, switch confirmation off for those tools in your dashboard.
