    Hi Duncan from Memberstack, is it possible that, after a user redeems credits, we could gain access to specific CMS items? I'm considering the possibility of, maybe after updating the credits key in the metadata of one member, adding another metadata field, containing the CMS Item ID. What are your thoughts on this approach?

    Hi Luciana Yamaji 👋

    My first thought is to use our "Add plan" action to add a free plan to the member. If the free plan grants access to your CMS item(s) then the customer now has access. 

    But I like your idea too! If you're open to gated content yourself using custom code then it should work just fine 👍
