WishList Member and Thrive Automator. The integration between these two systems provides you with a number of options. This allows you to create automatic actions between WishList Member and many other systems. One of the best parts is no custom code is required. You can set up automations in minutes with just a few clicks.
This is done through the use of triggers that will cause specific actions to be carried out.
There are many different options so you can let your creativity loose. You could configure an action to move a member to another level if they expire from their initial level. An action could add a member to a level if they leave a comment on the site. A trigger of a specific time and date could be set to to add a new member to a selection of membership levels.
Webhooks can be set as triggers which really opens up the playing field. You can even create triggers and actions based on Thrive Apprentice and Thrive Architect. These are just a few examples. More details are explained below.
