Hey everyone. I was looking to integrate some triggers through Zapier around Members subscribing/unsubscribing to email updates. Namely, I wanted to trigger off of a member doing the following things…
1 - Confirming their subscription
2 - Unsubscribing to email updates
Since clicking the unsubscribe link doesn’t delete the member in Ghost - I couldn’t use the Member Deletion trigger. The Member Update trigger in Zapier though doesn’t seem to allow access to the current.subscribed flag in the Zapier editor.
I can see the data in the Zapier Task History - but can’t access it in the editor to trigger off of. Not sure if this is a Zapier thing or a Ghost setup thing. Any ideas?
Quick update on this after some additional testing - being able to confirm their subscription (item #1) is possible with the Member Creation trigger in Zapier - it only executes once the person confirms the subscription link - so that’s great.
Still trying to figure out if there’s a way to trigger off and know when a member unsubscribes from email updates.

Hi @mderron . I’m curious if you’ve figured this out. I’m building something similar using the “member updated in ghost” trigger and then looking up a spreadsheet row, to keep a google sheet of my members up to date. The flows for created and deleted members work great, but the trigger for “updated member” seems buggy. When I test, all I get is a sample record, which completely screws up the sheet. It just doesn’t seem to pick up actual membership updates in Ghost.
Literally as I typed this, I figured it out. Ignore me
