Frequently Asked Questions

I sponsored Unmanic on Patreon. Why am I still not seeing supporter status in the app?​

After you become a supporter on Patreon, there are a few steps behind the scenes before your Unmanic account is marked as a current supporter. Patreon needs to confirm the pledge, then Unmanic periodically checks Patreon and matches that pledge to your Unmanic account. Because parts of this happen on a schedule, it can take a short while for the status to sync.

Try this troubleshooting flow:

  1. Visit https://api.unmanic.app/support-auth-api/link and log in (log out first if you were already logged in).
  2. Open the avatar dropdown to check your supporter status.
  3. If it has not updated yet, wait about 15 minutes, then log out and log back in to refresh the link.
  4. Restarting your container is not usually required, but you can do so after you have completed the steps above.

If your status still has not updated after trying the steps above, message Josh.5 on Discord with your Unmanic account email and Patreon email, and it will be resolved within 24 hours.
