How to make the delete account button appear in Memberstack's Profile Modal after enabling the feature? Answered

I've got a slightly strange question to ask. I want to allow users to delete their accounts (and all data stored with it on memberstack). The way I am thinking of having it is just as a simple button on their profile settings page that deletes their account and all data saved with it (GDPR compliant). Is there a custom attribute that does that?

    I think they're working on that still. I coined the idea once before

    I was certain someone else had a similar idea before :)
    Would be cool to have a “data-ms-member=“delete-profile” option as a custom attribute

    Hello Shadi null and Yannick Caron 👋

    Thanks for attaching the WishList item!

    I just wanted to also add if you can get an automation in Zapier to fire you could delete it there as well 🙏

    Maybe if you add a customField that forces your user to fill in the field with Delete and then fires that Zap to delete the user 😄

    Is there a way for a member to delete their account by themselves?

    Because in order to use Facebook login I need to have a member deletion process. I‘m not sure if this is only an EU law. 😅

    I tried to do it with Zapier. I use webflow as the frontend. But I‘m not sure how to capture and pass along the memberstack memberid from webflow to zapier.

    It should be able to capture the memberid automatically from the user who is currently logged in.

    Hey Felix Gräf, you can do that by passing the member ID as a hidden field if you have a form that is triggering the zap

    You just need to include this in the form block as HTML embed:

    <input type="hidden" name="Member ID" data-ms-member="id">

    Hope this helps.

    Hi everyone, i have one question: I noticed with memberstacks recent update that users now have the option to delete their account themselves through the Profile Modal. We have enabled this feature in Memberstack, but unfortunately, the delete button does not appear in the Profile Modal in our app. Are we doing something wrong? Is everyone experiencing the same issue?

    Hi Leon,

    I've just checked on my end and I can see the button. Please ensure you click the 'Security' menu in the modal sidebar, and scroll all the way to the bottom of the modal to access the 'Delete' button.

    If you still do not see it, kindly clear your browser cache or try again in your browser's incognito/private mode. However, if none of my suggestions worked, please provide your website URL so I can investigate further.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi Chukwudi,

    Thanks for your reply. I checked as you recommended, but I’m still not able to see the delete button. I’ve sent you some details via PM.
