Questions

Something else? Ask in the support server.

Is Dispatch free?

Yes. Every feature is free, and there's no premium tier.

Does it need my Patreon login?

No. Dispatch reads only what Patreon shows everyone: a post's title, when it went up, its thumbnail, and whether it's for members. It never asks for a Patreon login or keys.

Can members-only posts leak through it?

No. An alert says a post is out and links to it. To watch, people still open it on Patreon, with the right membership.

How fast are the alerts?

Seconds. Dispatch learns when each creator usually posts and checks every 10 seconds in those hours, and it looks every few seconds for a creator who goes Live.

What permissions does it ask for?

Only what the alerts and extras use: posting in the channel you pick, pictures, pings, threads, events, pins and reactions. Nothing that deletes messages, kicks, bans or changes your server.

Who can change its settings?

Anyone with Manage Server in your server: in Discord with /setup and /patreon settings, or on the dashboard.
