Use workflows to automatically send membership login credentials (Magic Link) and welcome emails when a contact signs up or is granted access to a membership offer.

Updated over 3 months ago

Who This Is For / When to Use

This guide is for users who:

  • Sell or manage memberships or courses in Kyrios.

  • Want to automatically send login access after signup or purchase.

  • Grant membership access through workflows or other automated methods.

  • Need a secure login process without sending passwords by email.

Important Assumption:
This guide assumes membership access is granted separately (for example, by a purchase workflow or manual grant).

How Membership Credentials Work in Kyrios

  • Kyrios does not send passwords by email.

  • Contacts receive a Login URL (Magic Link).

  • If the contact has not set a password, they are redirected to the Set Password page.

  • The Magic Link is the only supported method for first-time access emails.

Important Notes About Passwords and Login

  • Password fields are not populated automatically.

  • Password custom fields are not available in most email builders.

  • Always use the Login URL (Magic Link).

  • Contacts without a password are redirected to Set Password automatically.

Testing the Membership Credentials Workflow

Correct Testing Method

  • Use a brand-new email address.

  • The email must not already exist as a member.

  • Manual enrollment or tagging will not generate a valid Magic Link for existing users.

Common Issues and Fixes

Magic Link Does Not Work

  • The contact already exists as a member.

  • Test using a completely new email address.

User Did Not Receive Email

  • Confirm the workflow is published.

  • Check the trigger filters.

  • Verify the Send Email action is connected.

User Cannot Log In

  • Confirm the Login URL (Magic Link) is included.

  • Ensure the user completed the Set Password step.
