Membership Triggers: New Sign Up and Product Completed

Two triggers mark the start and the end of a member's journey: Courses New Sign Up when someone first gets in, and Product Completed when they finish.

Courses New Sign Up

Fires when a customer signs up for an offer, membership or community group for the first time. It suits welcome emails, access instructions and sign-up incentives.

  • Filter: pick the Offer the sign-up relates to, such as an early-bird discount, or leave it open for all.
  • Important: if the contact was already given access to that membership or group by other means, the trigger will not fire for them.
  • Example: for a "15% Early Bird Discount" membership, send a welcome email with next steps and apply an "Early Bird" tag.

Product Completed

Fires when a contact finishes a product, such as a course, subscription or service.

  • Filter: Product with operators like Is any of to include products or Is none of to exclude them.
  • Example: after completion of a beginner course, send a congratulations email, request feedback with a survey and offer the next course.

Set either one up

  1. Go to Automation > Workflows and create a workflow.
  2. Click Add New Trigger and choose Courses New Sign Up or Product Completed.
  3. Name it, for instance "Advanced course completion follow-up".
  4. Click Add filters, select the offer or product, then click Save Trigger.
  5. Add actions and test with sample data, then publish.

Journey ideas

  • Welcome stage: sign-up triggers a welcome message and a first-week tips series.
  • Completion stage: completion triggers a survey, a testimonial request and an upsell.
  • Reporting: tag members at both stages so you can see sign-ups and finishers in lists.

Good to know: Use Product Completed to ask for a testimonial while the feeling of achievement is fresh.
