Offering Membership to your Wait List/New Membership

How to move wait list accounts to Offered Membership and follow up so applicants can join and pay.

When someone fills out your wait list or new membership application, Member Splash creates an account for them with the Waitlist account type. To offer them a spot, change their account type to Offered Membership and let them know they can log in and pay.

Let them know

  1. Email the families you've offered a spot. Start from the Sample letter for Offering Membership to Applicants, which uses merge tags to fill in each family's details.

  2. When they log in, they'll be asked to finish their profile (family members, contacts, photos, birthdates), then pay their new-member fees and dues.

Want their account type to switch to a full membership automatically once they pay? Set up Post Payment Actions.
