Webhooks allow you to automate actions based on events occurring on your site. MemberPress supports webhooks for events like new member registration, subscription changes, and membership cancellations. Here’s how you can use webhooks in tandem with API calls to create fully automated workflows.

Example: Notify a Slack Channel When a New Member Joins

1. Set Up a Webhook:
   • In MemberPress, set up a webhook that triggers on new member registration.
   • Configure the webhook to make a POST request to your custom handler URL (you can use a service like Zapier or Integromat to act as a middleware).
2. Automate with a Third-Party API:
   • When the webhook triggers, it sends member details to Zapier, which then uses the Slack API to send a message to a specific Slack channel.
   • Here’s a sample of the data sent via the webhook:jsonCopy code{ "id": 123, "username": "newuser", "email": "newuser@example.com", "membership": "Premium" }
   • This data is processed by Zapier, and a message is sent to your Slack channel: “A new Premium member has joined: newuser@example.com”.

This process ensures you stay updated in real time, without manually checking the WordPress dashboard.
