6 Automation Ideas Using ARMember Integrations & Features

Still managing every new signup, message, or payment manually. Let’s change that! 

Automation is essential for any type of business: it saves time and resources. Running a membership or subscription-based or membership business can be time consuming, too, but some things can definitely be optimized.

The first things that probably come to mind are automated subscription payments, member registration and….maybe some of the communications. But what else?

Onboarding new members, creating communities, and sending newsletters. Can any of these be automated with a good level of quality?

No doubt, automation tools built right into ARMember or integrated though third party services can help you work smarter. Want to know how and get a few automation ideas with ARMember?

Let’s take a closer look at some of the most powerful ARMember addons that help automate various sides of a membership site.

Automate Scheduled Content Releases with Drip Rules

Use content drip rules to turn your content library into a self running system.

ARMember’s Drip Content feature, which is built in with all premium plans, helps you easily automate the timed release of your posts, pages, or even specific content blocks. So members get access only when you want them to, keeping everything organized and timely.

Thus, you can use the Drip Rules settings in the ARMember plugin to configure how and when your content becomes available to each membership plan. What’s more, it’s as easy as enabling or disabling rules, choosing post types, and assigning schedules to specific membership tiers.

Drip rules for automated content release include:

• Immediately.
• After a certain time – a set number of days after signup.
• Schedule content availability for a particular period.
• Delay release by a set number of days from publication or last modification.
• Partial content drip.

This is one of the automation ideas that help you manage content with smart scheduling.

Automate Affiliate Management with the ARMember Affiliate Addon

Affiliate marketing is a proven way to grow your member base, and ARMember’s Affiliate add-on makes it completely hands free.

This affiliate automation integration lets you create and manage a powerful affiliate program directly within your membership site. Of course, based on the plans you sell.

Now once a new user signs up through an affiliate link, the plugin attributes the referral. Later, it also calculates commissions, all by itself so you don’t need to track this manually anymore.

Top Benefits of this automation:

• Automatic affiliate tracking. Commissions are automatically applied when members join through a referral link.
• Flexible commission setup. Set fixed or percentage-based commissions by plan or by affiliate.
• Recurring commissions. If you sell recurring plans, why not reward affiliates for ongoing renewals or recurring payments.
• Bulk affiliate payouts. For many registrations, payouts also need to be automated. Use the PayPal Mass Payout in the add-on to send commissions automatically in batches.
• Built-in marketing resources. Upload promo materials for affiliates once – and they can access them anytime, you don’t need to send them manually to everyone.

This ARMember add-on takes care of signups, tracking, and payouts, automating the business growth for you. Why not let your members become your affiliates?

Automate Community Engagement with the Social Community Addon

If you are looking for ways to automate member retention, look into the connections direction.

We suggest using the ARMember’s Social Community addon, which helps you transform your website into a social hub like a built-in social network. And you don’t need to rely on bbPress or BuddyPress to automate these things.

Let your members interact, post updates, and create groups!

What it automates for your membership business:

• Reduces your need to manually send updates or handle one-on-one communication.
• Encourages members to better engage through posts, comments, and chats.
• Helps members find and connect with others based on shared interests.

Try automating engagement through community interaction and you will see your retention increased and churn reduced.

Send Automated Notifications with WhatsApp & SMS Addons

There are many things that happen on your site – and quite often everyone should stay in the loop.

In addition to ARMember emails, you can get even closer to your clients by sending messages right to their phones and favorite apps.

For example, the ARMember WhatsApp Notification add-on allows you to send instant WhatsApp messages for key activities like:

• Successful plan purchases
• Password changes
• Membership cancellations
• Plan expirations or renewals

You can also enable notifications for website admins. For example, get notified when a new user joins or cancels a subscription.

You may also check the SMS addon to send automated alerts and forget about the need to contact members manually.

Implement Site Translations with the Multi-Language Addon

Set your favorite translation plugin for WordPress to automatically translate new membership pages or posts. Something you always needed? For sure – if you serve a global audience, multilingual support isn’t optional, it’s crucial.

The ARMember Multi-Language add-on is really helpful here because it integrates with popular translation plugins such as WPML, TranslatePress, Polylang, and WPGlobus.

This automation will help you provide your membership content, pricing pages, and communication in multiple languages.

Why use site translation?

• Automatic or manual translations (depending on the plugin you use).
• Multilingual SEO compatibility (helps you rank globally).
• Full ARMember compatibility to make your membership data consistent across languages.

Automate Anything with the Zapier Addon
