Membado Zapier integrationAutomate Membado with Zapier.
The Membado Zapier integration gives you 2 triggers, 0 actions and 0 searches. Both triggers are instant: a request to join your community, or a new member joining it, reaches Zapier the moment it happens, so your other tools hear about it straight away.

What the Membado Zapier integration does
Membado is a community and course platform based in Germany. On Zapier it does one thing: it tells your other tools when someone asks to join your community and when someone actually joins. Every Zap starts in Membado and continues in another app, since Membado offers no action.
No join request left waiting. New Join Request fires when someone asks to get in, so a message lands in your team chat and whoever reviews requests knows there is one to look at.
A mailing list that follows your community. New Member fires when someone joins, and the Zap can add them to your email tool without an export.
A member log you can share. The same trigger can add one spreadsheet row per new member, a running list you can sort and pass around without opening Membado.
What Zapier does not do with Membado: there is no action and no search. A Zap cannot approve a request, add a member, enrol someone in a course or read anything back from Membado. It can only react to the two events above. The good news: both triggers are instant, so even on the free plan nothing waits for a scheduled check, and each Zap stays within two steps as long as it has one action and no filter. If you are weighing other tools for that, see our Zapier alternatives page.
Zapier words in one minute
Seven words come back across this page. Here they are, once, in plain English.
- Zap
- The automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run each time the trigger event happens.
- Trigger
- The event in an app that starts the Zap. Once the Zap is switched on, Zapier waits for that event and nothing else.
- Action
- What the Zap does once started: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you, always in another app with Membado.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills. One task is one action your Zap completes successfully, and your plan counts those.
- Polling vs instant
- Zapier checks a polling trigger on a timer. An instant trigger is reported by the app itself the moment the event happens.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap go on only when what arrived meets the condition you set, and stops it otherwise.
- Multi-step Zap
- Any Zap beyond one trigger and one action. A filter or a second action makes it one, and it then needs a paid plan.
What a Membado Zap really costs
Membado is not a premium app, so both triggers work on the free plan. You pay in tasks, and the Membado triggers never use one.
- Free plan100 tasks a month, unlimited Zaps
- Steps per Zap on Free2 (one trigger, one action)
- Membado triggers0 tasks
- Premium appNo
Watching for join requests and new members costs nothing, however many come in. Each action that goes through counts once, and one that fails is not counted. Since Membado has no action, the tasks are spent in the other app: one subscriber or one message per event. The free plan stops at two steps, so a filter or a second action makes a multi-step Zap that needs a paid plan. The grid below is how often Zapier checks a polling trigger; both Membado triggers are instant, so it does not apply to them.
Connect your Membado account
- 01
Open the Apps page
In your Zapier account, open the Apps page and click + Add connection. A dialog with a search box opens: type Membado, then pick it from the list of results.
- 02
Sign in to Membado
Click Add connection. A new tab opens on Membado: sign in with the account that runs the community you want to watch. You need a Membado account before you start.
- 03
Grant access
Allow Zapier to use the account. The connection is saved once and both Membado triggers reuse it, so your next Zap picks it up without going through these steps again.
Your first Zap: tell the team about new join requests
GoalEach request to join your Membado community that passes a condition you set in a filter becomes a message in your team chat.
- 01
Create the Zap
Start a new Zap, pick Membado as the trigger app and New Join Request as the event, then choose the Membado connection you made earlier.
- 02
Test the trigger
Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent items of the connected account, so you can see what a join request carries before mapping it.
- 03
Add a filter
Click the plus icon, add Filter, then set the field to look at, the rule and the value. Mind the rule type: a text rule only works on text.
- 04
Add the chat step
Add your chat app with its send-message action, and map the request details you saw at the test into the message your team will read.
- 05
Test, then publish
Test the chat step and read the message. The filter makes this a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan. Then click Publish to switch it on.
Membado triggers
2 events start a Zap when something happens in Membado, and 2 of them are instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.
New Join Request
Instant triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when someone requests to join your community.”
Starts a Zap when someone asks to join your Membado community. At that point the person is not a member yet: the request is what reaches Zapier, and what happens to it is still decided in Membado.
New Member
Instant triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when someone joins your community.”
Fires when someone joins your Membado community. This is the moment to welcome them elsewhere: add them to a mailing list, a spreadsheet or a CRM.
When a Membado Zap breaks
Zapier attaches no help article to Membado and lists no limit of its own for it. What breaks is what breaks on every app.
Here are the cases worth checking first. If a Zap misbehaves for another reason, see our Zapier troubleshooting guide.
No backlog
A Zap only reacts to requests and members that arrive after you switch it on. Everyone already in Membado is never picked up; moving that list is a separate job.Flood protection
If a large batch of members arrives at once, after an import for example, Zapier can hold it back with its flood protection. Plan bulk changes outside live Zaps.Loops in the other app
Membado has no action, so a Zap cannot write back into it. A loop can only happen in the other app, if a Zap writes where its own trigger watches.
