[Wishlist] Image upload fields (profile, artwork, photos, etc.) Planned

Post author

1) The problem → I want members to be able to upload an image that's saved and automatically passed to integrations like Circle. At the moment, there's no way to add a profile image in Circle unless it's linked to the email address (gmail, etc.)
2) Why is this important → Adding profile pictures makes the community feel more real and more human.
3) What's your plan B → Jerry-rig image uploads with Zapier. Or not use Memberstack SSO so folks can use the native image upload in Circle.
4) Possible solutions we could build for you → Add an image upload field type which I can add to a custom form.

    Hi all 👋 Exciting update.

    We are bumping this feature up in the roadmap and starting research! It's not 100% clear if we'll be able to finish it this quarter, but that's the goal.

    We'll follow up here with more info as we make progress. Thanks all!

    We may be able to solve this problem in 2023.

    Definitely need this as we have a big commenting community and will need to integrate with Disqus!

    I wish Memberstack offered an image upload or profile pic period and not just intended for Circle. I say this because a while ago when I asked about it, I think I was told that initially Memberstack wasn't really made for social type web apps but the thing is soooo many people are using it that with Zapier workarounds etc.

    Duncan Hamra Thanks for the link to this older video everything works except the images don't upload into webflow CMS it just stays blank even if Zapier sends the file links in nothing shows up. Any idea on how to fix that ?

    This is definitely needed. I have a solution that won't work without it.

    Definitely need this. It'd be great if it can work well with Hyvor Commenting as well. I need name and profile image to be pulled to Hyvor so that it feels totally native.

    Thanks for leaving comments Kizzle F and Dean Fankhauser 🙏 To be 100% transparent we have worked on prototypes recently, but nothing is scheduled for official development at this time. I'll update this thread as things change. 

    Please keeps these comments coming. The more you can do to say "why" this feature is important for you and your business, the easier it is for us to prioritize. 

    Also to be 100% transparent, I'm having a hard time prioritizing this because we don't offer support for republic profiles yet. Once we do, I can see this feature being suuuuper valuable.

    I need it for my site www.promptpal.net

    It's the one thing that's missing to make it feel like a totally native, custom, high-quality platform. It's lacking that community feel without it.

    We are growing insanely fast and it would be good to have this, otherwise, we'll eventually have to drop Memberstack and do our own custom solution. I really don't want to do this as you guys are amazing and I can see it scaling with you long-term.
