Quick question...What is the best way to keep current JSON member data when adding new JSON data via Zapier (to keep structure and nest within the correct group)

 

thanks for your help

    Hey Justin White this is something I do but I use Make.com instead of Zapier. The simple answer is you have to take all of the existing JSON manipulate it externally (like inside of Zapier) and then send it all back to overwrite the JSON that was there. You can really add or remove pieces of data in the JSON inside of memberstack. You take it add / subtract and then rebuild it and send the whole thing back into memberstack. Simple answer but may not be super easy to configure. Hope that helps point you in a direction! If anyone else has found a better way then I'd love to hear it and hope others will post something here. :-)

    Hello,

    I want to build a note taking service for customers of a client of mine. The customers should be able to create their own note, show all their notes, filter notes by date, edit their notes. Is this possible? They should be able to add notes every day, only one note per day should stay open and be saved at the end of the day. Sort of like a journal.

    Hoe would I go about this. With the member json? I know there are memberscripts to create new and fetch already saved member json data. How do I make each one editable?

    JSON is likely the way to go... however it's not going to scale forever. If you're concerned about scalability then you may want to try something like Wized + Memberstack.

    That said, we recently built a product that used the JSON to store different financial models in Member JSON. It's working quite well! Josh Lopez Tyler Bell do you have any advice as to the best way to store the JSON so that it's easy to select / edit individual items?
