restriction rules for drip content

Allow content prior subscription

When the member purchases a membership plan, and if there is any drip rule set from ARMember -> Drip Content, then all the drip rules will get assigned to the members as per the drip rules set to be accessed to a membership plan.

But when the option Allow content prior subscription is enabled, then the members will only be able to access the Drip Rules that are created after the members purchase the particular membership plans and the old drip rules before purchasing the membership plans will not be assigned to the members.

Allow content post subscription

When the member’s plan is expired or cancelled, then members will not be able to access the Drip Rules that are already assigned to the members as per their membership plans.

But when the option Allow content post subscription is enabled, and the member’s membership plan is expired or somehow cancelled, then also, members will be able to access all the drip rules that are created at a time and assigned to the particular membership plans.

Sync Dripped Content

Enabling the syncing for the Drip Content, all the members whose plans are expired will be able to access all the drip content that was assigned to them before their membership plan was expired.

Important Note: Drip rule will only be accessed by the members that were created before their membership plan expired. The new drip rules created after the expiration of membership plan will not be assigned to the old members and only to the new members.
