How to import existing members into Memberstack with passwordless login? Answered

What is the workflow for migrating members from another platform to Memberstack (only passwordless login).

This page makes it seem you can’t import existing members and have them use passwordless, is that true?

Is there no way to import members and allow them to use passwordless login?

    Hey Max, the password field should be optional.

    You should be able to import without passwords

    Okay amazing, so just import without passwords and then the user can just go to login and take advantage of passwordless login?

    Quick question: is a user created if they submit the signup first step, but don’t enter the email verification code in the second step?

    correct! I’ve been migrating sites from WF User accounts and have done exactly that and it’s been good.

    As for your question there - a user is created but they just get redirected to the verify page

    Is it possible to create a member using Zapier without setting the password now?

    We imported the members with CSV without a password. Two things are happening

    1. When we try to use the passwordless login it says “email not found” (screenshot below)
    2. When I search for that member they exist, but there is an alert that says “Email Not Verified”

    What am I doing wrong? I thought an imported member would just be able to go through the passwordless login flow right away?

    Is it an issue with imported members not working in test mode?

    Imported members are only live mode members.

    Members either are live or test.

    Okay so live members won’t work in test mode

    So the only way to really test whether the user flow is functional is to connect to a live domain and move out of live mode? Julian Galluzzo

    I switched the live mode to the webflow staging link for testing and it seems to be working.

    Thanks!
