Automated Memberful New Member Checks

When a payment lands, WebRun opens Memberful, checks the new member's subscription is active and the plan's benefits are attached, confirms their private podcast feed and downloads resolve, drafts a welcome text in Twilio for your approval, and posts the outcome to Slack.

In short

How do I confirm a new member's access works as soon as they join?

WebRun checks every new Memberful signup the moment a payment lands. It confirms the subscription is active, the plan's benefits are attached, and the private podcast feed and downloads actually resolve, then posts the result to Slack and queues a welcome message in Twilio for your approval, so day one is never a support ticket.

  • Broken access is caught before the member writes in
  • Every signup gets a welcome drafted within minutes
  • The team sees each new member and their plan in Slack

Step by step

What does WebRun do on every run?

The exact actions WebRun takes, in order - in plain language, so you can adjust anything.

  1. WebRun signs in and gets to work

    Opens memberful.com in a real browser with your saved login - no setup, no API keys.

  2. 1
    Memberful - verify the new member's access
    memberful.com
    WebRun in Memberful: verify the new member's access
    WebRun opens Memberful to verify the new member's access.
    • Open Memberful and find the member behind the payment that just landed
    • Confirm the subscription is active and the plan on the account is the one they paid for
    • Check every benefit that plan should grant is attached to the member
    • Confirm the private podcast feed and any downloads resolve for that account
    • Note anything missing so it can be fixed before the member notices

    Done when The new member's plan, benefits, and feed are all confirmed or flagged.

  3. 2
    Slack - post the signup and its status
    slack.com
    WebRun in Slack: post the signup and its status
    WebRun opens Slack to post the signup and its status.
    • Post the new signup to your Slack channel with the plan and the amount
    • Show the access check result: benefits attached, feed working, downloads available
    • Flag any failure loudly so somebody fixes it the same day
    • Keep a running count of signups this week in the thread

    Done when The signup and its access check result are posted in Slack.

  4. 3
    Twilio - queue the welcome message
    twilio.com
    WebRun in Twilio: queue the welcome message
    WebRun opens Twilio to queue the welcome message.
    • Draft a short welcome message naming the plan and what the member now has access to
    • Hold it in a review queue rather than sending it
    • Skip the draft entirely when the access check failed, so nobody is welcomed to something broken
    • Send only after you approve. WebRun never messages a member on its own

    Done when A welcome message is queued in Twilio for your approval.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it message new members without me?

No. The welcome text waits in a Twilio review queue until you approve it. Only the internal Slack post goes up on its own, and your own team is the audience for that.

What happens if the access check fails?

The failure is posted loudly to Slack and the welcome draft is skipped, so nobody gets welcomed to a membership that does not work yet. You fix it, then approve the message.

Does it change the member's plan or benefits?

No. WebRun only reads the account to verify what is attached. Adding a missing benefit or correcting a plan stays a manual action inside Memberful.

Put this on autopilot.
