How to trigger monthly credit top-ups for Memberstack subscribers when renewals include free trial periods?
I have a use case where I want to re-up users' credit balance every new month they still have an active subscription in one of my plans. Is there a reliable trigger for this in Memberstack? Relying on Stripe is tricky because some of the members are on discount plans with a free month trial.
i could use logic, but i think it might be a little clunky to orchestrate.i was hoping that maybe there was a distinct member updated event when someone's subscription renewed

Ohh, the subscription is renewed via Stripe every month?
I thought you want to run a monthly workflow to update the credits.
Memberstack does have an updated member event. Check this article out for more context and see if it solves your use-case.
Yes it's a memberstack plan with a monthly price, so renewed with stripe just like it's cancelled with stripe.
any idea if member updated event fires when subscription renews?
Actually, I am not 100% sure about this I know that Stripe is the source of truth for Memberstack. But am a bit doubtful if it will lead to updated member trigger, maybe it will help to test it out.
yeah i think i could at least know to run the automation on all the users that are status "ACTIVE" and then do the trial ones manually for now too
Might be something cool for memberstack to build in though in the future, I imagine that there are lots of people who want to run some action on a subscription renewing
You can listen to stripe subscription updated and tweak the flow for your use-case, if that takes off some load for you.
Will have to dive deeper in Docs to check for this use-case.
yeah thats what i was thinking, then have a script that looks for trial memberships every night or something like that and sees if they were started 30 days ago
Yes, you can even make use of routing and filters in there for the trial based filtering
