How to Automatically Grant Access to Membership Courses with Workflows
What Is Automated Membership Access?
Automating membership access through workflows allows you to enroll users into your CRM's membership courses automatically, without manual intervention. By setting up triggers—such as a form submission or a completed payment—you can instantly grant course access to users as soon as they meet your specified conditions.
Benefits of Automating Membership Access
- Scalable Automation: Enroll users in bulk automatically, eliminating the need for manual entry.
- Immediate Access: Users gain instant entry to courses, improving their experience and reducing support requests.
- Reduced Errors: Automation minimizes mistakes like missed enrollments or incorrect access levels.
- Time Efficiency: Free up time to focus on content creation while workflows handle administrative tasks.
- Custom Triggers: Tailor workflows to your business needs, such as granting access after a purchase or specific form completion.
How to Set Up Automated Membership Access
Step 1: Access Workflows
Log into your CRM sub-account and navigate to Automation > Workflows from the dashboard.
Step 2: Create a New Workflow
Click + Create Workflow to start a new workflow from scratch, use a template, or generate one with AI assistance.
Step 3: Configure the Trigger
Select a trigger that will start the workflow, such as Form Submitted or Payment Completed. Use filters to specify which form or payment source should activate the workflow.
Step 4: Add the Grant Access Action
Choose Course Grant Offer as the action. Then, select the specific course or membership product you want to grant access to.
Step 5: Test and Publish
Run a test to verify that the workflow functions correctly and that membership access is granted as intended. Once confirmed, toggle the workflow to Publish and save your changes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn’t my welcome email from membership settings being sent?

Can I set up multiple workflows for different courses?
Yes, you can create separate workflows for each course, allowing you to customize triggers and actions based on specific requirements.
What happens if a payment fails?
You can configure workflows to handle failed payments by sending notifications to users and pausing access until the payment is resolved.
Can I combine workflows with email campaigns?
Absolutely. Use workflows to trigger personalized email sequences, such as welcome messages or course completion reminders.
How do I track users who gained access through workflows?
Your CRM includes tracking and reporting tools to monitor user activity and workflow performance.
