What you can automate

What can the Memberful Make integration do for you?

The Memberful Make integration lets Memberful tell Make the moment something changes on your membership site: a new member, an order, a subscription that renews or stops. Make then runs a scenario, the automation you build as a chain of modules, and passes that event to your other tools, without a line of code.

A members list that updates itself. With Watch Member Signup at the start, each new account lands in a spreadsheet or a CRM through the module of that other app. Pair it with Watch Member Deleted so departures leave the list too. If your table lives in Airtable, the Airtable Make integration covers the other half.

A finance trail for every order. Watch Order Completed and Watch Order Refunded can each feed a line to your bookkeeping sheet, so refunds never slip past the person who closes the books.

Churn alerts for the team. Watch Subscription Deactivated and Watch Subscription Deleted can post a message to your team chat, giving someone the chance to reach out before a former subscriber forgets you.

Know the limit before you start: Make only listens to Memberful here. There are 13 triggers, zero actions and zero searches, so a scenario cannot create a member, change a plan or look up an order inside Memberful. Memberful is always the starting point, never the destination. If you are weighing tools, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria, and the Make pricing page explains how operations are counted.

Connect

How do you connect Memberful to Make?

  1. 01

    Prepare an API key in Memberful

    You need an active Memberful account and an API key generated from a custom application in Memberful. Create that key first and keep it at hand: Make will ask for it in the next step, and the connection cannot be saved without it.

  2. 02

    Open the connection window

    Add any Memberful module to your scenario and click Create a connection. A connection is your Memberful account linked to Make once, then reused by every Memberful module. Give it a clear name if you run more than one site.

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    Paste the API key from your custom application into the window, then click Save. The connection now appears in the module, and every Memberful module you add later can reuse it.

First scenario

Your first scenario: log every new Memberful member

GoalWhen someone signs up in Memberful, Make adds that member to the table where you track your community.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big + to choose the first module. That first module is the one that starts everything.

  2. 02

    Pick Watch Member Signup

    Search for Memberful, choose Watch Member Signup and select the connection you created, or click Create a connection if this is your first Memberful module. The lightning badge marks an instant trigger.

  3. 03

    Add the destination

    Click the + on the right of the Memberful module and pick the app that holds your members list. In its fields, map the data that came from Memberful, one value per column.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once, then create a test signup on your Memberful site. Open the bubble above each module to read the bundle it received: this shows exactly which member details Memberful sends.

  5. 05

    Switch it on

    When the test row looks right, switch the scenario on. From then on, each new signup reaches Make through Memberful's call, and the row appears without anyone copying it by hand.

Triggers

What can start a Memberful scenario?

13 modules start a scenario when something happens in Memberful. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Memberful as soon as it happens.

Memberful1Watch Member Deleted

Watch Member Deleted

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a member is deleted.”

Removing someone from Memberful no longer leaves ghosts in your other tools: this trigger hands Make the deleted member so a scenario can clean up after them.

How it fires
instant, Memberful calls Make through a webhook as soon as the deletion happens.
When to use it
when a mailing list, a spreadsheet or a community space must drop people who no longer have an account.
Watch out
the member is already gone in Memberful when Make hears about it, so use Run once to see which details the bundle still carries before you rely on them.
Memberful2Watch Member Signup

Watch Member Signup

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a new member account is created.”

Here is the natural front door of most Memberful scenarios: each brand new member account becomes a bundle, one item passed to the next module, ready to be welcomed or recorded.

How it fires
instant, Memberful calls Make through a webhook as soon as the account is created.
When to use it
to send a welcome email from another tool, add the person to a CRM or notify the team when the community grows.
Watch out
a signup is an account, not a payment. If your automation should wait for money, look at the order triggers instead.
Memberful3Watch Member Updated

Watch Member Updated

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a member is updated.”

Keeping a second copy of your members in sync gets easy with this one, because Make hears about each change made to a member and can push it downstream.

How it fires
instant, Memberful calls Make through a webhook as soon as the member is updated.
When to use it
when your CRM or newsletter tool must show the same member details as Memberful, without anyone retyping them.
Watch out
every call runs the scenario and each module run counts as an operation on your plan. If members edit their profiles often, add a filter after the trigger so only the changes you care about go further.
Memberful4Watch Order Completed

Watch Order Completed

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when an order is completed.”

Finished orders make a reliable signal for anything tied to revenue. This trigger passes each completed order to Make, so your records follow your sales without an export.

How it fires
instant, Memberful calls Make through a webhook as soon as the order is completed.
When to use it
to log each sale in a bookkeeping sheet or to tell the team that a new customer has paid.
Watch out
Memberful also offers Watch Order Purchased, and the two descriptions do not explain how they differ. Run both once on a test order and compare what arrives before you choose.
Memberful5Watch Order Purchased

Watch Order Purchased

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when an order is purchased.”

With this trigger, a purchase in Memberful turns into a scenario run, which is handy when a sale should unlock something outside your membership site.

How it fires
instant, Memberful calls Make through a webhook as soon as the order is purchased.
When to use it
to give a buyer access to a tool that Memberful does not manage, or to add them to a customer segment in your email platform.
Watch out
keep a single order trigger per goal. Listening to both Purchased and Completed for the same task could run your scenario twice for one sale, so test with Run once before you switch it on.
Memberful6Watch Order Refunded

Watch Order Refunded

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when an order is refunded.”

Refunds are the event people forget to report, and this trigger reports it for them: each refunded order reaches Make as soon as Memberful records it.

How it fires
instant, Memberful calls Make through a webhook as soon as the refund happens.
When to use it
to mark the original sale as refunded in your finance sheet, or to alert whoever handles customer support so they can follow up.
Watch out
Make cannot undo anything in Memberful because the app has no action module. Any access you granted elsewhere must be removed by the next module in your scenario.
Memberful7Watch Order Suspended

Watch Order Suspended

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when an order is suspended.”

A suspended order is a quiet problem that deserves a loud alert. This trigger sends it to Make so your team hears about it while it is still easy to fix.

How it fires
instant, Memberful calls Make through a webhook as soon as the order is suspended.
When to use it
to open a task for the person in charge of billing, or to pause a service you deliver through another app.
Watch out
the trigger descriptions do not say what causes a suspension. Read the bundle from a real case with Run once before you write any customer message around it.
Memberful8Watch Subscription Activated

Watch Subscription Activated

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a subscription is activated.”

When a subscription becomes active, Make receives it and can open the doors your other tools control, such as a private space or a download area.

How it fires
instant, Memberful calls Make through a webhook as soon as the subscription is activated.
When to use it
to invite a subscriber to a private chat space, a shared drive or a course platform that sits outside Memberful.
Watch out
Watch Subscription Created exists too, and the descriptions do not state whether a subscription can be created without being activated. Test both on your own plans and pick the one that matches your case.
Memberful9Watch Subscription Created

Watch Subscription Created

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a new subscription is created.”

Each new subscription record in Memberful becomes a bundle in Make, which gives you a clean starting line for onboarding flows built around a plan.

How it fires
instant, Memberful calls Make through a webhook as soon as the subscription is created.
When to use it
to tag the person with the plan they chose in your CRM, or to start a plan-specific email sequence in another tool.
Watch out
the descriptions do not say whether a plan change creates a new subscription. Run once on a test purchase and read the bundle before you count people with this trigger.
Memberful10Watch Subscription Deactivated

Watch Subscription Deactivated

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a subscription is deactivated.”

Losing a subscriber hurts less when you know right away. This trigger passes each deactivated subscription to Make so the right people and tools react.

How it fires
instant, Memberful calls Make through a webhook as soon as the subscription is deactivated.
When to use it
to revoke access granted outside Memberful, or to send a heads-up to whoever runs win-back campaigns.
Watch out
deactivated is not the same trigger as deleted. Decide which event your team actually wants to react to, then confirm with Run once on a test subscription that the bundle arrives.
Memberful11Watch Subscription Deleted

Watch Subscription Deleted

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a subscription is deleted.”

When a subscription is deleted in Memberful, this trigger hands it to Make, so your other tools can keep a record of something that no longer exists on the Memberful side.

How it fires
instant, Memberful calls Make through a webhook as soon as the subscription is deleted.
When to use it
to archive the subscription in a spreadsheet so your history stays complete, or to remove a plan tag in your CRM.
Watch out
deleted and deactivated are two separate triggers. If a scenario must react to both, build it on one and duplicate it for the other rather than guessing which one fires.
Memberful12Watch Subscription Renewed

Watch Subscription Renewed

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a subscription is renewed.”

Renewals are good news worth recording. With this trigger, Make hears about each renewed subscription and can log it, thank the subscriber or update a loyalty count elsewhere.

How it fires
instant, Memberful calls Make through a webhook as soon as the subscription is renewed.
When to use it
to send a thank-you note from your email platform, or to record renewals in a sheet that shows who stays.
Watch out
a renewal also looks like revenue. If an order trigger already logs your sales, check with Run once that you are not writing the same payment twice.
Memberful13Watch Subscription Updated

Watch Subscription Updated

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a subscription is updated.”

Plan switches and other edits to a subscription reach Make through this trigger, so every tool that depends on the plan stays aligned with Memberful.

How it fires
instant, Memberful calls Make through a webhook as soon as the subscription is updated.
When to use it
to move a subscriber to the right segment in your newsletter tool when their subscription changes.
Watch out
the description does not list which changes count as an update. Make a test edit, read the bundle after Run once, and add a filter so only the changes that matter continue down the scenario.

FAQ

Memberful and Make: common questions

01Is the Memberful Make integration free?
Yes. Memberful is a standard app in Make, so it is available on the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, runs of up to 5 minutes, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Each module that processes a bundle uses one operation, and operations are what Make counts on your plan. The paid plans, Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise, remove the limit on active scenarios. Your Memberful subscription is separate and billed by Memberful.
02What do you need to connect Memberful to Make?
Two things: an active Memberful account and an API key generated from a custom application in Memberful. In Make, add a Memberful module, click Create a connection, give it a name if you like, paste the key and click Save. The connection is then reused by every Memberful module in your scenarios. Make's documentation for Memberful is marked as AI-generated and may contain mistakes, so if a label differs from what you see, follow your Memberful account and ask Memberful directly.
03Do Memberful triggers in Make fire instantly?
Yes. All 13 Memberful triggers are instant triggers: Memberful calls Make through a webhook as soon as the event happens, whether it is a signup, an order or a subscription change. You do not wait for the default schedule of 15 minutes that applies to scheduled triggers. In the editor, these modules carry the lightning badge. Remember that the scenario must be switched on to receive those calls, and that each run counts operations on your plan.
04What if a Memberful module you need is missing in Make?
It depends on what you need. Memberful in Make only offers triggers: there is no action, no search and no Make an API Call module, so a scenario cannot write or look up data inside Memberful. The workaround is to let Memberful start the scenario and do the rest in another app that has the actions you need. If your case goes beyond that, the help form at the bottom of this page reaches the team.
05Make or n8n for Memberful?
It depends on your criteria, not on a winner. On Make, Memberful comes with 13 instant triggers covering members, orders and subscriptions, available from the Free plan, but with no action module. The same app often has a node in n8n, so check what that node offers before you decide. Then choose the tool where the rest of your automations already live, and the one your team feels comfortable maintaining.
