BP Function: PerformAuthentication

Performs OAuth login to Patreon and requests the user's consent to share data with your application using the user's default web browser.

The returned access token can be used to make additional requests to the Patreon API, e.g. to obtain information about the authenticated user and their pledges to determine if specific in-game content should be unlocked for them.

  Your Patreon app client_id.

  When the authentication process has been completed successfully, execution will flow from this pin.

  Token Info should be valid and can be used at this point.

• On Fail

  If the authentication process fails for any reason, execution will flow from this pin. You can use this to display an error to the user, prompt them to try again, etc.

  Token Info will be invalid and should not be used!
