My creator just added Discord as a benefit — how do I get my Discord role?
If your creator is introducing Discord roles as a new benefit, don’t worry, as an existing patron, the new benefit will be extended to you.
When a creator announces that they’ve included Discord as a new benefit for patrons in your Tier, follow the steps below to access your role:
Step 1: Log in to your Patreon account, and head to the Apps tab of your Profile settings page.
Step 2: Click on the Connect button next to the Discord app.
Step 3: Now that your Patreon and Discord accounts are communicating, our integration will assign you the role tied to your Tier!
You can access your new role by logging in to your Discord account.

FAQ
Q: I connected my Discord account to Patreon, but I don’t find my creator’s server when I log in to Discord. What should I do?
A: If you’ve connected your Patreon account to your Profile settings page, we recommend disconnecting and reconnecting Discord from this page. Before disconnecting, log out of Discord completely on your device. Reconnecting will reestablish communication between the two apps.
If you’re still not finding your creator's server, check that you’re in the correct Tier for your creator. If you became their patron with the custom pledge option, rather than selecting a specific Tier, you’ll not be assigned a Discord role, regardless of the amount you’re paying.
This section of our help center guide on unlocking posts will help you check which Tier you’re in:

A: Check out their Tiers, and keep an eye out for the Discord logo followed by the text: Includes Discord rewards at the bottom of the tier description.
