How to access member JSON updates from Memberstack in Make or Zapier without using custom fields? Answered

Hey team!

Are there any plans to support JSON in Make.com or Zapier?

The scenario is, that Members' JSON is updated via frontend, so I need this data to be accessible. Or custom fields is the only option here?

    In Make, you could try using the REST Admin package API to update the member using a HTTP request

    You could create a custom Webhook that would act as a trigger, that would create a unique URL for you to send (and validate) data. Then you could parse it up to JSON, and after you build your object, you send in a HTTP (using a PATCH method) request, as the documentation indicates for updating a member.

    Also, you could also add another task (called Webhook response, I think) for the returned response, that way you could know what the server responded and update your UI accordingly

    The downsize? Remember that each operation in Make comes with a cost. So if you have to do a lot of requests then it can get pricey. Also you'll have to store you secret API key in there, in case you need to change it, you will have to update it in all the requests that you do

    this might be unrelated, but is this what I need to get a member id from a page?

    Basically, I want to get the member ID of someone who is logged in, so that when they update their profile, make.com knows which record to store the new data into.

    There's no "trigger" set, because the member would have already been created.

    This might be the wrong term, but I need it to "listen" or just magically KNOW what member ID is logged in and making updates.

    Hopefully that makes sense...
