Modify a member's free memberships/plans via API, Make.com, or Zapier

1) The problem → Need the ability to change which plan a member is assigned to via the API.
2) Why is this important → Our application relies on this ability, we have too many members and memberships to have to manually do this from the dashboard every day.
3) What's your plan B → We don't have one right now.
4) Possible solutions we could build for you → Having the API call in test/beta form would be huge.

Update member plans trough Zapier Integration
L
Lucas Suárez
1) Be able to update member plans trough "Update Member" action in Zapier Integration in the same way we can add plans when we use "Create Member".
2) This will allow us to update automatically users plans, especially when we use external payment methods and we have different gated content in different plans.
3) In much cases, the pricing model requieres selling outside Memberstack so the users has to be created with an automation. In those cases, I think it is important to be able to use the product without limitations. From the Memberstack dashboard you can add and modify a user's plans, it should be possible to do it through the integrations as well.
4) I'm not sure about my plan B. I'll look into updating plans via the API when a new order comes in Webflow, or try to do the trick with the member metadata. If anyone knows how I could solve it... I'll be happy to hear ideas!

in progress
This feature is under development as part of Memberstack 2.0. Should be ready for testing sometime next week 🤞
Thomas Seiger
Duncan Hamra: looking forward to Memberstack2.0 Documentation for make.com
Chris Lally
This is currently possible using the =Memberstack_UpdateMembership formula from Google Sheets! (https://docs.sheet.link/formulas/apps/memberstack)

Changing Membership via API
JS
1) The problem → Unable to change Membership via API
2) Why is this important → I currently have to change a member's membership via the dashboard (only works for free members). This is time-consuming and leads to a bad user experience since they have to wait for me to make the update.
3) What's your plan B → Manually update, or make the user click on an upgrade button to confirm the upgrade.
4) Possible solutions we could build for you → Add an API call to change a membership

It's odd that this can be done when created but not available the the Update call.
Naitik Mehta
Nick Jensen Agree that it's not ideal; unfortunately there are a lot of dependencies that we initially left out of the earliest versions of our application, that have trickled into this limitation today. Same reason why we're re-structuring our codebase with 2.0 to build solid foundations for a way more flexible and versatile product moving forward. 🙏

Hey Michael Gill! Thanks for taking the time to share this — good news, 2.0 will definitely enable this. We've already baked this into the super-early Alpha version of 2.0 that we're working on. 💯 😁 Hope that's helpful!

Naitik Mehta: That's great to hear! How can I get access to the developer preview? I submitted it quite a while ago if I remember correctly.
Naitik Mehta
Michael Gill: We don't have a Developer preview available yet. We're currently in a Developer Alpha with a limited number of folks from the waitlist, and will be rolling out Beta over the next few months. We'll definitely be in touch with folks that fit the criteria we're looking to get feedback from. Hope that makes sense! :)

Naitik Mehta: Hello Naitik! Is it possible to add me to the alpha as well? I'm building a website and it requires the api for membership update. Thanks in advance :)
