In order to maintain CANSPAM and CASL compliance with emails sent from Member365 to this contact, its necessary to confirm proper email consent settings. Here’s how:

1. From the Contact Record, click ‘Consent Settings‘  on the lower right of the page.

2. Here, you’ll see a list of options allowing you to control consent settings. It is important that you ensure that these settings correspond to the form of consent you have from this contact.

Don't know which consent setting to pick?

For guidance on how to properly select the consent type provided by the contact, refer to the chart below:

 

This designation means that the recipient has explicitly agreed, orally, digitally, or in writing, that they have consented to receiving commercial communication.

Assign The Membership

With consent settings out of the way, you can now officially assign your contact membership.

1. Clicking ‘Save‘ in step three above will bring you to the contact record. From here, click the ‘Quick Enroll‘ button at the bottom right of the page.

 

3. In the resulting window, select the membership category for this member, designate an inception and renewal date, and click ‘+Enrol‘.

4. On the Membership/Subscription Summary box, you will see the membership category you enrolled this contact.

While not essential when creating a new member, providing Member Portal access is easy and tremendously valuable to both your member and organization.
Provide Member Portal access in minutes by following this tutorial.
Once Portal Access has been granted using the tutorial link above, the member will immediately be sent the Welcome Email as set up in the Membership category they were assigned to.  Note, if they already have access the Welcome email will not be sent again.
