Hi @Donald-Barlow 

Good question.

We would need to see detailed screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured to have context.

This should work except that updates a member runs first which causes it to error out because the filter in updates a member is set to continue only if CMS ID exists. 

The first one seems to be mostly correct except for some reason the filter settings cannot pull Plan ID unless I change it to "update a plan". 

I know there's probably something simple I'm missing here. This is my first time using Zapier. 

There's probably some way to combine these two. 

I need both functionalities because when an employee creates an account I want their profiles to automatically be added to the CMS and when they update their accounts I need that information to automatically update in both memberstack and webflow. 

Customers account information and updates can just go to memberstack directly as their information isn't public facing. 

It appears that there's some type of priorities given to the list of triggers for memberstack, if a "new member is added", this priority is first which makes sense, however, I can't seem to use the filter to specify which plan ID to filter if I use "new members" however, I can use "when a plan is added" as a trigger, which has the filter option for specific plans. But this unfortunately appears to trigger after "update a member" (second zap) because of that the second zap runs first and errors out because a new member has to be written to webflow and back to memberstack in order for the CMS ID to populate in memberstack. 

If I could somehow force the first one to run, or figure out a way to get the plan ID as a filter option on "new member" this would allow for memberstack to write to the collection list in webflow and copy this back over to memberstack.

Once a member has a CMS ID the second plan with the filter CMS ID exists would run any time an employee updates their profiles. 

To clarify, I have my website set up in a way that when a customer signs up, they are automatically added to the "customers plan" in memberstack and when a employee signs up they are automatically added to the "employees plan"

I hope this makes sense!

We would need to see detailed screenshots with how your Filter steps are configured.

To help you troubleshoot, check your Zap Runs history to see the DATA IN/OUT for each step: https://zapier.com/app/history/

So I’ve attempted to remove the filters because at this point, I just want to get this to function correctly again. 

This was my attempt at getting everything into one zap, basically the idea is Employee creates an account on the website, then it pushes to memberstack, that information then gets put back into webflow with the memberstack unique member ID number, then I MAP the CMS-ID field from webflow back into memberstack. 

Now i’m getting an error that states that the Full-Name field is missing, the weird thing is if I walk through all the steps it works just fine, but if i let it run it errors saying 

This Webflow step hit an error.

Error message: Required field "Full-Name" (name) is missing.

attaching the screen shots. 

@Donald-Barlow 

Step 1 DATA OUT from Memberstack had no customFields.

Step 2 DATA IN for Webflow has a custom field variable mapped from step 1, which is why the error occurred.

@Donald-Barlow 

We would need to see detailed screenshots with how each of your Zap steps are configured to have enough context.

So the issue is with memberstack not transferring the correct information?

@Donald-Barlow 

Hard to say for sure when we haven’t been able to see detailed screenshots with how each Zap step is configured.

Sorry, just added them to the above message! 

@Donald-Barlow 

You may want to try adding these steps:

Action: Delay (for a few minutes)

Action: Memberstack - Find Member (by ID)

To see if that returned the custom fields data.

should I have this  as the first step in my zap or the second step?

@Donald-Barlow 

Zap actions can only be added as Zap Step 2 or later.

You are a genius!!!!! I think the issue here was that memberstack was immediately sending over the data to Zapier which was fine except that my website has a sign up then an onboarding right after the sign up. So memberstack was sending over just the plan information and the email address but nothing else because not enough time had passed for the rest of the information to be collected. 

Placing a 1 minute delay on the zap allows for memberstack to collect the information that it needed, then I was able to push that through the zap without any issues!

Hmm okay, so it's working correctly now but it appears the information isn't going to the correct fields. For example, in the bio field in webflow it duplicated the name. 

Maybe I just mapped things incorrectly?

@Donald-Barlow 
We would need to see updated screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured.

Okay so found a step that works, doesn’t require any delays and copies the information over correctly, but the problem is that it is set up in a continuous loop that i can’t seem to stop...I managed to add a filter to the end to prevent it from adding an unlimited number of items to my collection list but i can’t get the zap to complete it process.

Here’s my configuration 

@Donald-Barlow

You want to put a Filter as early in the Zap steps as possible, ideally as Step 2.

A Filter step can have multiple conditions.

NOTE: The Filter in Step 3 is comparing the left and right side arguments to itself, which will always evaluate to true and pass the filter step, so that needs to be fixed, ideally with a static value on the right side.

roger that, I'll fix it! Any way to get it to stop completely after step 5? 

Update, I finally got it working.

Thanks so much for your help @Troy Tessalone 

Yay! Nice work on that, @Donald-Barlow! And big shout out to @Troy Tessalone for helping with this!
