Have you ever been in a situation where you're trying to get somebody in membership, or you want to get them in quickly, and they've lost their password, or they can't figure out how to log in? A Memberships magic link is the one-click solution for that. The fastest way to get your customers and users into your membership courses is if they forget their username or password.


Please note:

Newly created locations currently do not have access to Membership Magic Links. You can, however, create magic links in the Client Portal. Go to "Sites" > "Client Portal" > "Dashboard" to generate magic links for your clients.

Does a contact need access to an offer for a magic link to work for them?

When testing, when I click on a magic link, it shows all the courses the contact should not have access to.


The magic link is designed to side-step having to use a username and password to log in. Once logged in, clients will see whatever "products" you/they have been granted access to. It is meant to give clients access only to the products they have been granted access to.


Please Note:

If you’re using the magic link while logged in as your agency admin account, you’ll see all the available courses for that sub account. 


Membership sites can be great for sharing valuable content with your customers or users. However, sometimes logging in can be a hassle, especially if someone forgets their password. That's where Membership magic links come in. These one-click links allow your clients to quickly and easily access your courses without remembering their usernames or password. Whether sending out the link via email or using it as a custom menu link, Membership magic links make it easy to grant access to your courses to those who need it. Just be sure only to share the link with those granted access to your content. So, if you're looking for a hassle-free way to get your customers into your courses, consider using Membership magic links.

Please Note:

We have 2 kinds of magic Links, User and Learner.
Learner's Magic Link: useful when shared with a contact. Comes in handy inside emails etc.
User's Magic Link: Useful for location users. Comes in handy in cases where the agency wants to share a course with a number of locations and locations users will take the course. Can be used as a custom menu link in a sidebar.

{{ contact. email }}  will generate a magic link for learners (regular courses like "Learn zoomba with Maggie")
{{user. email}} will generate magic links for internal users (internal courses like "Welcome to Your Agency

Both use cases are significant. Showing both fields is the simplest way to communicate this to the sub-account.




Once your magic link is populated in the field above, click Copy to copy it to your clipboard.


Then go to your Memberships workflow's email template or the email builder membership template and either paste the magic link as it is into the message body. Or highlight some words you want people to click on and link them to the magic link.


Please Note:

If you are using a workflow to send out the Memberships magic link, please make sure that the workflow is fired off by the Membership New Signup trigger so that the workflow can populate the required custom values in the email.




Paste your magic link in the URL field:


In the "Open link in" dropdown, choose whether you want the magic link to open the memberships portal in the Current or a New Window. Then click on Save.


Please Note:

Magic links should only be shared with prior consent. Anyone with the link will be able to access your course material



Troubleshooting

Magic Link can expire If you generate a new one. Older ones will be invalid.


It doesn't work for contacts who don't have a membership offer granted to them.



When testing, when I click on a magic link, it shows all the courses the contact should not have access to.

This is an Agency Admin privilege; when you click on a Magic Link being an Agency admin, it auto logs you in as someone with access to all courses. If you want to do some testing, try opening a magic link in incognito.
