LifterLMS Automations
Send an Email When a User Is Added to a LifterLMS Membership
You want to welcome a new member and explain what their membership includes the moment they join. Zapify does this with the A user is added to a membership trigger and the Send an email action. LifterLMS is a Zapify PRO integration.
What this automation does
The automation is one trigger plus one action:
- Trigger: A user is added to a membership (
LIFTERLMS_MEMBERSHIP_ADDED) - Action: Send an email (
WP_SEND_EMAIL)
When a user is added to the membership you choose, Zapify fills the email's tokens and sends it.
Zapify listens on LifterLMS' llms_user_added_to_membership_level signal, which fires whenever LifterLMS adds a user to the membership — including both a new signup and a manual addition by an admin.
Before you start
- LifterLMS must be installed and active, with at least one membership set up.
- Zapify PRO must be active, since LifterLMS is a PRO integration.
PRO feature
LifterLMS (lifterlms) is a Zapify PRO integration. Every LifterLMS trigger and action requires an active PRO licence.
