Overview

What the Memberspot Zapier integration does for a course business

The Memberspot Zapier integration lets your other tools act on your Memberspot course platform. Another app starts the Zap, a sale, a form or a refund, and Zapier then grants or removes course access, sets expiry dates, stores custom data on a member or reads their progress.

Three results cover most course setups. Access after a sale: your checkout tool starts the Zap and Grant Access opens the course, creating the member if they do not exist yet. Access closed on a refund: Revoke Access removes the course while keeping the member's progress, so nothing is lost if they come back. Progress in your CRM: Find User by Mail fetches the member, then Users Course Progress List by User Id returns where they stand, ready to be written into another tool.

What Zapier does not do here. Memberspot has no triggers on Zapier, so it cannot start a Zap: no event fires when someone finishes a lesson or signs up. Every Memberspot Zap begins in another app. Many actions also want a user ID rather than an email, which means a search step first. And no Zap goes back over sales or members from before it was switched on. If you are comparing builders for this platform, see our Memberspot Make integration page.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

Seven words you will meet in the editor, 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. Memberspot has none on Zapier, so the trigger always comes from another app, like a sale.
Action
What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes, sends or moves something for you, like granting course access.
Task
The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. The number on your plan counts those and nothing else.
Polling vs instant
A polling trigger is checked by Zapier on a timer; an instant one reports itself the moment it happens. It depends on the app you start from.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap go on only when what arrived meets the condition you set, and stops it there otherwise.
Search step
A step that looks up something that already exists in an app, such as a Memberspot member by email, so later steps can use it.
Cost

What a Memberspot Zap really costs

Memberspot is not a premium app on Zapier: it works on the free plan. Each Memberspot action that succeeds counts as one task; one that fails is not counted, and the trigger, in your other app, costs nothing.

  • Premium appNo, free plan works
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps
  • Memberspot triggersNone
  • Failed actionNot counted

The free plan gives 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, each capped at two steps: one trigger, one action. A sale followed by Grant Access fits. A search like Find User by Mail, a filter or a second action makes the Zap multi-step, which needs a paid plan. The grid below sets how often Zapier checks a polling trigger. Memberspot has no triggers of its own, so it applies only if the app that starts your Zap uses one.

Connect

Connect Memberspot to Zapier in 3 steps

  1. 01

    Open your connections

    In Zapier, open the Apps page of your account and click + Add connection. A connection is your Memberspot account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every step that needs it.

  2. 02

    Pick Memberspot

    Search for Memberspot in the dialog, select it, then click Add connection. You need an account on the app, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch.

  3. 03

    Sign in and allow access

    Sign in to Memberspot in the tab that opens and grant Zapier access to the account. Every step that uses Memberspot, in any Zap, can then reuse this one connection.

First Zap

Your first Zap: open a course after each sale and confirm by email

GoalWhen your checkout tool records a sale, grant the buyer access to the course in Memberspot and send a confirmation from your email tool.

  1. 01

    Build: pick the trigger

    Create a Zap and choose your checkout tool's sale event as the trigger. Check on that app's Zapier page whether its trigger is instant or polling.

  2. 02

    Test the trigger

    Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent items of that account, so you map fields on a real sale. Note where the buyer's email sits.

  3. 03

    Add Grant Access

    Add Memberspot with Grant Access. Map the buyer's email into E-Mail and pick the course in Grant Access To. A buyer with no account gets one created.

  4. 04

    Add the confirmation

    Add your email tool as a second action with a short note. Two actions make this a multi-step Zap, so it needs a paid plan; skip it to stay on the free one.

  5. 05

    Test, then publish

    Test each step once, read what came back, then click Publish to switch the Zap on. For guided practice, see our Zapier training.

Actions

The 19 Memberspot actions

Memberspot gives you 19 actions. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

1

Delete Access

Action

In Zapier“Deletes the access of a member (member progress in the courses will be deleted)”

Deletes a member's access, by email and access, and with it their progress in the courses.

When to use it
rarely; for a clean reset on a test account, for example.
Watch out
progress is deleted. If the member may return, use Revoke Access instead.
2

Delete Order Access

Action

In Zapier“Deletes access for a specific order by orderId”

Deletes the access linked to a specific order for one member, given by email and order.

When to use it
an order recorded by mistake should leave no access behind.
Watch out
compare it with Revoke Order Access on a test member before choosing.
3

Delete Users

Action

In Zapier“Deletes users from member area”

Removes users from the member area, from a list of emails. One step can take several people out.

When to use it
a deletion request handled in your support tool should reach Memberspot too.
Watch out
nothing asks for confirmation once the Zap is on; put a filter in front if needed.
4

Delete Users by User Id (DELETE Method)

Action

In Zapier“Delete Users by their ids”

Deletes users from their unique IDs rather than their emails. The uids field is the only requirement.

When to use it
your other tool already stores Memberspot uids.
Watch out
Delete User by User Id (POST) also deletes by a list of uids; pick one, run the test and read what comes back.
5

Delete User by User Id (POST)

Action

In Zapier“Delete users by uid using post method”

A second deletion action by user ID, also driven by a list of uids, the one required field.

When to use it
your Zap carries Memberspot uids and those users must leave the member area.
Watch out
use one of the two in a Zap, not both.
6

Enable Chapter Access by User Id

Action

In Zapier“Enable chapter access by User Id”

Opens or closes one chapter of a course for one member. It asks for the uid, the course ID and the chapter ID.

When to use it
release a bonus chapter to members who completed a survey in another tool.
Watch out
the chapter ID field speaks of enabling or disabling, so check the result on a test member.
7

Find User by User Id

Action

In Zapier“Find user by the users Id”

Fetches a member's details from their uid. It is listed among the actions, not under the searches.

When to use it
another tool stored the uid and you need the member's email for the next step.
Watch out
as an action, it counts as a task each time it succeeds.
8

Grant Access

Action

In Zapier“Grants access to a course (when the member is not existing, the member will be created)”

Gives a person access to a course, from their email and the Grant Access To choice. If no member exists with that email, Memberspot creates one first.

When to use it
right after a sale in your checkout tool, so the buyer gets in without you lifting a finger.
Watch out
it creates a member when the email matches none, so check at test that the email you map is the one the person uses.
9

Grant User Access by User Id

Action

In Zapier“Grant user access by User Id”

Grants an offer to a member you already know by user ID. You give the uid and the offer ID to grant.

When to use it
an upsell bought by an existing member should unlock the extra offer on their account.
Watch out
you need the uid; Find User by Mail placed earlier can return it, check at test.
10

Revoke Access

Action

In Zapier“Revoke a member access to a course (member progress in the courses will not be deleted)”

Takes a course access away from a member, by email and access. Their progress in the courses is kept.

When to use it
a refund or a failed renewal should close the course, with the door open for a return.
Watch out
this is the gentle option; Delete Access erases progress.
11

Revoke Order Access

Action

In Zapier“Revokes access for a specific order by orderId”

Removes the access a member got through a specific order, by email and order.

When to use it
one order is refunded while the member keeps what they bought separately.
Watch out
the order reference must match the one Memberspot holds; check it at test.
12

Set Custom Property

Action

In Zapier“Sets value of custom property for user”

Stores a value in a custom property of a member, found by email. The property key is required.

When to use it
keep the acquisition source of a buyer on their Memberspot profile.
Watch out
the key is required, so check at test that it points to the property you mean, on a real member.
13

Set Custom User Property by Users Id

Action

In Zapier“Set custom user property by uid”

Does the same job as Set Custom Property, but finds the member by uid. Key and value are both required.

When to use it
when your Zap already carries the uid from an earlier Memberspot step.
Watch out
mapping an email into the uid field will not work; use the email version for that.
14

Set Access Expires

Action

In Zapier“Set the expiration date of an access for a user”

Sets the date an access ends for a member. Required: uid, offer ID and the expiration date.

When to use it
a renewal paid elsewhere should push a member's end date further out.
Watch out
check at test how the date from your other app lands in expiresAt.
15

Set Access State by UserId

Action

In Zapier“Sets the state of an access for a user by user id.”

Changes the state of one member's access to one offer, by uid and offer ID. It is the fine-grained switch for a single person.

When to use it
a payment problem reported by your billing tool should pause that member's access.
Watch out
State is required; check at test which values Memberspot accepts.
16

Set Order State by Order Id

Action

In Zapier“Sets the state of all accesses with a specific orderId for all users that have this orderId. If active is not supplied, the acceses get deleted from the users. All users with the given orderId will be affected.”

Changes every access tied to one order ID, for every member who holds it. One step, possibly many people.

When to use it
a group or team order is canceled and everyone on it should lose access at once.
Watch out
per its description, if the state is not set to active, the accesses get deleted from those users.
17

Set Order State by User Id

Action

In Zapier“Sets the state of an access with a orderId for a user.”

Sets the state of an access linked to an order, for one member. You give the uid, the order ID they own and the state.

When to use it
one buyer's order is disputed and only their access should change.
Watch out
do not confuse it with Set Order State by Order Id, which hits every member holding that order.
18

Users Course Progress List by User Id

Action

In Zapier“Returns list of all courses progress of a user”

Returns the progress of a member across all their courses, from the uid alone.

When to use it
write each member's progress into a CRM field to spot who is stuck.
Watch out
check at test how the list comes back before mapping it into a single field.
19

Users Course Progress List by User Id and Course Id

Action

In Zapier“Returns course progress of a user for a specefic course”

Returns a member's progress for one specific course, with the uid and the course ID.

When to use it
before sending a certificate from another tool, check that this course is done.
Watch out
a filter after it to stop the Zap when progress is incomplete makes the Zap multi-step.
Searches

The Memberspot search

1 search step looks for data that already exists in Memberspot, so a later step can use it.

A search step sits at the bottom of the action list, under the SEARCH heading of Action event. It finds an existing record so later steps can use it; some fields offer + Add search step to insert one just before. Adding it makes the Zap multi-step.

1

Find User by Mail

Search

In Zapier“Searches for a user by his mail and returns details.”

Looks up a Memberspot member from their email and returns their details. It is the bridge between tools that know emails and actions that want a uid.

When to use it
before Set Access Expires or any by-ID action, when only the email is known.
Watch out
check at test that the uid is among the details returned before mapping it.

The three settings every search exposes

  1. Successful if no search results are found?
    Left on its default, a search that finds nothing stops the Zap and skips the steps that relied on it. Switched on, the Zap carries on empty-handed.
  2. Create X if it doesn't exist yet?
    This box turns a search into find-or-create. Memberspot offers no such variant on Zapier, so you will not see it on Find User by Mail.
  3. If multiple search results are found?
    Three ways out when several items match: keep the first one (the default), stop the Zap, or hand all of them on at once.
When it breaks

When a Memberspot Zap breaks

Zapier attaches no help article to Memberspot and lists no rate limit for it. What breaks comes from Zapier's general rules and from a few actions that do more than their name says.

  • No catch-up on the past

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after it is switched on. Sales and refunds from before stay out; giving those buyers access is a separate job.

  • Progress wiped by Delete Access

    Delete Access erases the member's course progress. Revoke Access closes the course and keeps progress. Pick by whether the member might come back.

  • One order, every member

    Set Order State by Order Id touches all members with that order, and deletes their accesses when the state is not active.

  • An unknown email creates a member

    Grant Access creates the member when the email matches none. Check at test that your checkout passes the email the person uses on Memberspot.

  • Flood protection after an import

    A trigger that suddenly returns a huge batch, after a bulk import or a migration, can be held back by Zapier's flood protection.

  • A Zap that sets itself off

    A Zap that writes into the place its own trigger watches can start itself again and again and burn tasks. Check this when the trigger app is also written to.

FAQ

Memberspot Zapier integration: frequent questions

01Is the Memberspot Zapier integration free?
Yes, for two-step Zaps. Memberspot is not a premium app on Zapier, so the free plan can use it. That plan gives 100 tasks a month and an unlimited number of Zaps, each with one trigger and one action. A sale in your checkout tool followed by Grant Access fits. As soon as you add Find User by Mail, a filter or a confirmation email, the Zap becomes multi-step and needs a paid plan.
02How many tasks does a Memberspot Zap use?
One task for each action that succeeds, and nothing for the trigger in your other app. A sale followed by Grant Access costs one task per buyer; adding a confirmation email makes it two. Find User by User Id and the progress list actions are actions too, so they count each time they succeed. An action that fails is not counted. Each sale runs the whole Zap again, so multiply the actions per run by your monthly sales to check you stay under 100 on the free plan.
03Can Memberspot start a Zap in real time?
No, Memberspot has no triggers on Zapier, so it never starts a Zap at all. The Zap starts in another app: your checkout tool, a form, your billing tool or a spreadsheet. Whether that start is immediate depends on that app's trigger. If it is instant, the Zap runs right away on any plan. If it is a polling trigger, Zapier checks it on your plan's interval, every 15 minutes on Free, 2 on Professional, 1 on Team and Enterprise.
04What does it take to connect Memberspot to Zapier?
An account on Memberspot, plus read or write access on anything you do not own yourself and want the Zap to touch. You connect it once from the Apps page of Zapier with + Add connection: pick Memberspot, sign in in the tab that opens and allow access. Before building, create the courses and offers your actions will point to, and note their IDs, since the by-ID actions ask for offer, course or chapter IDs.
05Revoke Access or Delete Access: which one after a refund?
Revoke Access, if the buyer might come back one day. It removes the member's access to the course but keeps their progress in the courses, so the history is still there if they buy again. Delete Access removes the access and deletes the progress in the courses. Keep Delete Access for clean-ups, test accounts or explicit deletion requests. The same logic applies to orders: Revoke Order Access is the softer one, Delete Order Access the definitive one.
06What if the Memberspot operation you need is not listed?
Then Zapier cannot do it with this app, and no setting adds it. Check first whether two steps cover it: Find User by Mail followed by a by-ID action replaces an email version that does not exist, for example. What is missing entirely is any trigger, so nothing in Memberspot can start a Zap. The Memberspot page on Zapier shows the current list of operations, so check it there before you plan around a gap.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for Memberspot?
Choose from your flow, not from a ranking. On Zapier, Memberspot only acts, so first check that your flow starts in another app; if you need Memberspot events to start it, Zapier cannot do that here. Then count steps: an email-based Grant Access fits the free plan, while a by-ID action needs a uid; if your trigger only carries an email, that means a search first and therefore a paid plan. Price that same written flow on each tool before deciding.
