Why MemberSpace sites grow faster
with Genius Referrals automation
-
Reward Issuance at the Speed of Signup
- As soon as a new member joins a plan in MemberSpace, Zapier triggers the bonus in Genius Referrals.
- No more "reward lag" that kills advocate motivation your fans get credited instantly.
-
Cancellation-Proof Payout Protection
- Protect your margins from trial-hunters and churn. If a membership is canceled or expires in MemberSpace, the integration automatically updates the bonus status to `Denied`.
- This ensures you only pay for long-term, high-value members.
-
Granular Control Over Member Plans
- Not all memberships are created equal.
- Use Zapier filters to reward specifically for high-tier plans, annual commitments, or specific member groups, ensuring your rewards are always aligned with your business goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. You can use the `New Membership` trigger for free sign-ups, but most site owners use this integration to reward for paid membership tiers.
When a `Canceled Membership` event is detected in MemberSpace (including manual cancellations or expirations), Zapier sends an "Update Bonus" command to Genius Referrals, marking the related reward as `Denied` before it can be paid out.
Absolutely. You can use Zapier Filters to only fire the reward action if the `Plan Name` contains a specific keyword, like "Pro" or "Annual".
No. The integration works in real-time. As soon as a membership is confirmed in MemberSpace, the bonus process begins in Genius Referrals.
MemberSpace treats expirations as part of the `Canceled Membership` trigger. This means your rewards are protected even if a member simply let their plan run out without manually canceling.
