What you can automate

What can the Memberstack Make integration do for you?

The Memberstack Make integration links your Memberstack account to Make, a visual tool where you build a scenario: an automation made of modules, each module being one brick that watches, acts or searches. Memberstack tells Make when a member signs up, changes, leaves or gets a plan, and Make can create, update or look up members in return.

Welcome every new member with the right access. Watch New Members starts the scenario when someone signs up, and Add a Free Plan to Member gives that person a starter plan without anyone opening the dashboard.

Follow each subscription from first plan to cancellation. Watch Added Member Plans, Watch Updated Member Plans and Watch Canceled Member Plans pass every plan change to Make, so a revenue sheet or a support tool shows where a subscription stands, renewals and billing periods edited in Stripe included.

Keep your other tools clean when an account disappears. Watch Deleted Members fires when a member is removed, the right moment to clear that person from a mailing list or from a member table like the one described in the Airtable Make integration.

The listed modules cover members and free plans only. For any other part of the Memberstack API, Make an API Call reuses the same connection. The same app often has an n8n node as well; the n8n vs Make comparison puts the two side by side, and Make pricing explains how Make counts operations, one operation being one module run on one item.

Connect

How do you connect Memberstack to Make?

  1. 01

    Copy your secret API key

    Log in to Memberstack and open the dashboard, then go to the section where your secret keys are managed. Copy the API key shown for the environment your site runs on. Make only needs it once.

  2. 02

    Create the connection in Make

    In your scenario, add any Memberstack module and click Create a connection. A connection is your Memberstack account linked to Make. The Connection name field is optional, but a clear label helps you find it later.

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    Paste the secret key you copied, or follow the on-screen instructions, then confirm. Every other Memberstack module in your scenarios can now pick this connection from its list instead of asking for the key again.

First scenario

Build your first scenario with Memberstack

GoalWhen a new member signs up in Memberstack, Make adds a free plan to that member.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + in the editor. Search for Memberstack and pick Watch New Members as the first module.

  2. 02

    Set up the trigger

    Click Create a webhook, then Create a connection with your secret key. This trigger is instant: Memberstack calls Make through the webhook as soon as a member is created.

  3. 03

    Add the free plan

    Click the + on the right of the trigger and add Add a Free Plan to Member. Fill its fields by mapping the member that comes out of the first module, and choose the free plan to give.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once, then sign up a test member on your site. Each module shows the bundle it received, one bundle being one item passed along, so you can check the plan reached the right person.

  5. 05

    Switch it on

    Save and switch the scenario on. From then on, each new member runs it, and every module run counts as one operation on your Make plan.

Triggers

Which Memberstack events can start a scenario?

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

Memberstack1Watch Added Member Plans

Watch Added Member Plans

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a plan is added to a member. Memberstack allows member's to have multiple plans, and this trigger fires each time a plan is added to a member.”

Receive a bundle in Make each time a member gains a plan. Memberstack lets one member hold several plans at once, so this trigger fires once per plan added, not once per person.

How it fires
Instant: Memberstack calls Make through a webhook as soon as the plan is added.
When to use it
open access in another tool or log a new subscription in your revenue sheet the moment a plan lands on an account.
Watch out
a member who picks up a second plan starts the scenario a second time, so build the next steps around one plan rather than one person.
Memberstack2Watch Canceled Member Plans

Watch Canceled Member Plans

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a member's plan is canceled.”

Hear about every cancellation as it happens, so churn never goes unnoticed. The scenario starts when a plan held by a member is canceled.

How it fires
Instant: Memberstack warns Make through a webhook right when the plan is canceled.
When to use it
alert your support team, send an exit survey from your email tool or flag the customer in your CRM for a win-back call.
Watch out
a canceled plan does not remove the account; the member still exists, and accounts that are actually deleted go through Watch Deleted Members.
Memberstack3Watch Deleted Members

Watch Deleted Members

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a member is deleted.”

Keep your other tools in line with Memberstack: this trigger starts a scenario when a member account is deleted, so the removal can travel everywhere that person was copied.

How it fires
Instant: Memberstack calls Make through a webhook as soon as the member is deleted.
When to use it
unsubscribe the person from your newsletter, archive their row in a shared table or close their ticket history in a help desk.
Watch out
it only covers accounts that disappear; a plan canceled on an account that stays is reported by Watch Canceled Member Plans instead.
Memberstack4Watch New Members

Watch New Members

Instant trigger

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

Get every signup into Make the instant it happens. Each new member created in Memberstack arrives as one bundle, ready to be sent to the rest of your tools.

How it fires
Instant: Memberstack calls Make through a webhook as soon as the member is created.
When to use it
add the newcomer to your CRM, start a welcome email sequence or give them a starter plan with Add a Free Plan to Member.
Watch out
it reacts to creation only; later edits to that profile are reported by Watch Updated Members.
Memberstack5Watch Updated Member Plans

Watch Updated Member Plans

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a member's plan is updated. Any time the status of the plan updates or payment period updates (e.g. when a subscription renews, if the billing period is edited in the Stripe dashboard, etc.).”

Stay informed about everything that happens to a plan after it starts. This trigger fires when the status of a member's plan changes or when its payment period moves, for example on a renewal or when the billing period is edited in the Stripe dashboard.

How it fires
Instant: Memberstack calls Make through a webhook as soon as the plan changes.
When to use it
keep renewal dates and plan statuses current in the sheet your finance team reads.
Watch out
renewals count as updates, so the same plan can start the scenario many times over its life.
Memberstack6Watch Updated Members

Watch Updated Members

Instant trigger

In Make“Triggers when a member is updated.”

Pass profile changes on to your other tools without copying them by hand. The scenario starts whenever a member record is updated in Memberstack.

How it fires
Instant: Memberstack calls Make through a webhook as soon as the member is updated.
When to use it
a member edits their details on your site and your CRM or mailing tool should show the same information.
Watch out
avoid ending this scenario with Update a Member on the same person, because that update could wake the trigger again and repeat the run.
Modules

What can Make do in Memberstack?

Memberstack gives you 8 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Memberstack1

Add a Free Plan to Member

Action

In Make“Adds a free plan to a member.”

Give an existing member one of your free plans without opening the Memberstack dashboard.

When to use it
someone registers for a webinar in another tool and should unlock the matching members area on your site.
Watch out
only free plans are covered here; none of the listed modules adds a paid plan; check the Memberstack API documentation to see whether Make an API Call can cover it.
Memberstack2

Create a Member

Action

In Make“Creates a member with no plans or a free plan.”

Open a Memberstack account for someone from any other app, either with no plan or directly with a free plan.

When to use it
a lead fills a form outside your site, or a client is added in your billing tool, and should get a login right away.
Watch out
Run once really executes the module, so test with an address you are ready to delete afterwards.
Memberstack3

Delete a Member

Action

In Make“Deletes a member.”

Remove a member account from Memberstack as part of a scenario, so offboarding happens in one place.

When to use it
a customer asks for their data to be erased through your support tool and the request should reach Memberstack as well.
Watch out
place a search or a check before this module so it hits the right person, and test it on a dummy account first.
Memberstack4

Get a Member

Action

In Make“Retrieves a member by its ID.”

Fetch the full record of one member from its ID, to use its details in the next modules.

When to use it
an earlier step hands you only a member ID and you need the rest of the profile to fill an email or a CRM record.
Watch out
it works from the ID only; when you do not have it, List Members returns the members to choose from.
Memberstack5

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

Reach any endpoint of the Memberstack API from your scenario, with the connection you already set up, when no listed module does what you need.

When to use it
a need the 7 actions and single search leave aside, such as paid plans, once the Memberstack API documentation shows an endpoint for it.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so keep the Memberstack API documentation open to find the right endpoint.
Memberstack6

Remove a Free Plan From Member

Action

In Make“Removes a free plan from a member.”

Take a free plan away from a member, which closes the access that plan opened without touching the account itself.

When to use it
a course cohort ends, or a partner leaves a program, and their dedicated free access should stop.
Watch out
it handles free plans only; the member keeps any other plan they hold, and the account remains in Memberstack.
Memberstack7

Update a Member

Action

In Make“Updates a member.”

Change the details of an existing member from another tool, so your site shows the same information as your CRM or billing app.

When to use it
a sales rep corrects a customer record in the CRM and Memberstack should follow.
Watch out
if the same scenario starts from Watch Updated Members, the update you send can start it again and repeat the run.
Memberstack8

List Members

Search

In Make“Returns a list of members.”

Pull a list of your members into Make to work on them in bulk or to find the one you need.

When to use it
you want to copy your member base into a sheet, or you need a member ID before Get a Member.
Watch out
this search can return zero, one or many bundles, and every module after it runs once per member, which adds operations on your plan.

FAQ

Common questions about Memberstack and Make

01Is the Memberstack Make integration free?
Yes. Memberstack is a standard app in Make, so its modules work from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, at least 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) bring unlimited active scenarios, a 1 minute minimum interval and 40 minutes of execution. Usage is counted in credits, which are operations, per month. Your Memberstack subscription is separate and depends on Memberstack itself.
02What is needed to connect Memberstack to Make?
A Memberstack account and access to its secret API key. Log in to Memberstack, open the dashboard, go to the section that manages secret keys and copy the key shown for your environment. In Make, add a Memberstack module, click Create a connection, give it a name if you like and paste the key. For an instant module, click Create a webhook first, then Create a connection. The connection is then reused by every Memberstack module you add later.
03Do Memberstack triggers in Make fire instantly?
Yes. All 6 Memberstack triggers are instant: Memberstack calls Make through a webhook as soon as a member is created, updated or deleted, or when a plan is added, updated or canceled. The default 15 minute schedule of a new scenario applies to scheduled triggers, and Memberstack has none. In the editor, these modules carry the lightning badge. Remember to click Create a webhook when you add one, otherwise Memberstack has no address to call.
04What if a Memberstack module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. The listed modules handle members and free plans: create, get, update, delete and list members, add or remove a free plan. Make an API Call reaches any other endpoint of the Memberstack API with the same connection, which is the route to try for needs such as paid plans. You write the request from the Memberstack API documentation. The Make documentation for this app lists no specific limit, so the modules themselves set what the integration covers.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Memberstack?
It depends on the tool your team already builds in. In Make, Memberstack comes with 14 modules: 6 instant triggers for members and plans, 7 actions and 1 search, plus Make an API Call for the rest of the API. n8n often offers a node for the same app, so check whether one exists for Memberstack and which events it covers before choosing. Compare the triggers you need on each side rather than the brand.
