How to create a Make.com trigger that connects Memberstack and Webflow CMS to generate gated user profiles after signup? Answered
Hello Memberstack Support, Kyle Meacham here, my memberstack account is signed up under my customers name. Where I have full access.
I understand you can do login redirects with Make.com via trigger from the source within the Memberstack Support center. (pasted below)

My understanding is that with Make.com I can set up a trigger to make Memberstack and Webflow CMS talk together.
I would 1st have to create a CMS Collection in Webflow and go to the CMS Collection Page and Disable Indexing because this is not a public profile but meant to be gated. Go to make.com and start a new trigger.
1.> So (someone creates a new user account) example.com/signup Webflow sends info to Memberstack which creates a new contact
2.> Memberstack creates Contact which triggers make.com to see your new (memberstack contact/user account) grabs (member id/first name/last name)
3.> Make.com sends contact info to the specific (webflow CMS Collection ID) and creates a new collection item using the inputting (member id/first name/last name) using the member id as a slug example.com/user/memberid
4.> Make.com pulls new collection page url from collection item example.com/user/memberid sends it back to Memberstack and updates the Memberstack contact within the Contact Database with a fresh login redirect to the new collection page url
Now that the trigger is done at the creation of the account. The user will have signed up and when they login for 1st time they will then be redirected to there new gated collection whenever they login.
I would like some help understanding how to create this trigger as I feel the information in loom video gets to the point but it does not show how to create this trigger with a example Webflow project and make.com and or zapier.com
Is it also possible to add the new general id example.com/user/memberid as a gated url with that trigger?
I set up a Memberstack account for my customer this past week and properly connected everything so users can signup and login going to a temporary dashboard. All I would really need to do is create the the new Collection and grab the Collection ID and make the trigger.
To any members of this Slack Community and Memberstack Support. Who may help me with this problem.
Please forgive my grammar in this post along with my responses.
Thank you for your time in advanced.

Yes, it's possible. Because the redirect URL is going to be unique per user, you will need to use the redirect field on a member level. To be able to do it you will need use Make or Zapier to intercept the event of member creation and add the URL after the member has created.
The video is oriented to people who already know how to use Make (or Zapier, since both platforms are similar). That's why is not too long and doesnt cover all the other platform topics. But in summary, you can create scenarios that have a goal, in your case you create one scenario that triggers when theres a member creation in Memberstack, then create a Webflow item in a collection.
When you create the Webflow module in your Make scenario you need to assign the slug that you want your users to have to access. I would suggest to use the member id from memberstack, since those are unique and can be easily search in both systems. And in the Memberstack module, you need to write the collection-slug plus the member ID module like name-of-the-collection-slug/${member ID}
