Ideas for MEMBES FEATURE IDEAS

Relationships - Allow child to view other members (when switching to parent profile)

2026-04-17T02:06:27Z

Currently, a linked member can switch to the Parent Profile and view the parent record; however, they cannot see other members associated with that profile. This functionality should be enhanced to allow a Key Contact to switch to the Parent Profile and view all linked members. At present, this requires logging in directly as the parent (typically the organisation profile), which is not practical for organisation membership.

The new content editor is a massive step backwards in functionality

2026-04-23T04:06:05Z

We have found that the recently "updated" content editor has been a massive step backwards in terms of its functionality and flexibility of use. We have already logged a support ticket with Membes outlining our concerns as an association. The following is some of what we raised, in addition to a few other issues that have come up as we've tried to update or add content on our website since it was introduced. And this list is by no means exhaustive. > no button to add

tags for layout and styling options - we used this feature extensively in the old content editor to layout containers, rows, columns, responsive layouts, images, etc. > no button to easily add a

tag - a basic dividing line > no pop-up modal dialogue boxes that provide easy HTML/CSS styling options such as Classes and IDs, that can be used on Links, Images, Tables, Text, Paragraphs > the Image Insert settings don't seem to format images correctly, in particular with email templates when viewed in an email client such as Outlook > the editor window itself isn't big enough, and even when you resize it using the handle at the bottom right, it reverts back to the original size as soon as you click on something > there's no easy way to change link settings - eg. open in a new window vs open in same window We understand a lot of this can still be done within the HTML code in the Source window (which is the response we received from our support ticket), but this was not the case with the previous content editor, and editing the raw HTML code can be extremely problematic and prone to errors. We find it difficult to believe we are the only ones with this experience? Has anyone else had issues with trying to edit/layout their website and email content with the new content editor?

Ability to edit amount on invoice once raised

2026-04-29T00:46:48Z

It would be super helpful if we were able to edit the amount of an invoice once created in a member profile. Sometimes a member changes their mind about something once I have sent the invoice and I need to adjust the amount, however at the moment I have to cancel the invoice and raise a new one.

Remove section on renewal form that allows member to manually enter their credit cards details

2026-04-25T05:31:58Z

In reference to Help Desk Ticket 187456 - please remove the section that allows a member to manually enter their credit card details. By all means, still allow the member to be able to pay by credit card online. But entering their credit card details on a form that is emailed, is potentially a security breach and may not be compliant with PCI standards.

Webforms to trigger an automated EMAIL to submitters

2026-04-08T02:31:57Z

Currently you can set a response email to go to membes admin/user as well as offer a pop-up for webform submitters/members, but it would be great to have enabled a feature where - post a webform submission that the submitter receives an email. The reason for this, is that the pop up is gone forever once the member leaves that screen and an email would be better in an instance where you had further instructions post the webform being submitted. The pop up could read "please check your email for further instructions" and then the email goes to a members actual email address associated with their profile.

Hiding Membership Type from view on the front end member portal

2026-04-08T02:34:49Z

This is around configuration and settings for the member portal. For internal reasons we would like to be able to hide the member type from the membership module, front end.

Ability to upload PDF documents, certificates, etc. to a person's member profile.

2026-03-17T00:19:20Z

It would be great to have the ability to upload a PDF document to a person's member profile. For instance, being able to upload a certificate of achievement/attainment for an educational course, or anything of that nature. This would allow more information to be contained within each members profile in the database.

Bulk CPD Activity Log Creation

2026-03-22T22:08:24Z

Is there a way you could implement an option for bulk CPD log creation? We recently had our Annual Conference and I had to manually create about 600 CPD logs. I think this process could’ve been so much more streamlined if there was an option to import data from a .csv with the attendee name, event name, date, CPD points etc. and have Membes automatically create the CPD logs. It would also be great if there was an option to approve CPD logs in bulk by implementing a check box where you can select the CPD logs you’d like and perform actions on the entire selection such as approval.

Inclusion of a "suffix" field in member profile

2026-03-17T00:28:54Z

Currently, I am not aware of any way to include a "suffix" or "post-nominal" for a member's profile in the database - examples include "OAM", "AM" post-nominals, or in our case, recognising our members who have completed a Certified Club Managers course and who receive a CCM designation. If the "suffix" or "post-nominal" is included in the member profile "Surname" field, it makes the surname unsearchable in the member directory without including the surname and the suffix/post-nominal in the search field. Ideally, this should be an extra field in the General tab of the member's profile, and is automatically shown immediately after the Surname where the surname is displayed - reports, member profile, member directory, etc. A more advanced feature would be to include an option to display or not display the suffix/post-nominal, which could also be an option in the filters.

Intergration with Claude AI

2026-03-20T03:17:04Z

Intergration with Claude would provide significant time savings for Ad hoc, niche anyalysis and reporting on data in Membes (that currently requires manual reconciliation of spreadsheets) as well as driving workflows and a range of activities to suplement the standard features of Membes.

Schedule Send functionality for Broadcast Emails

2026-04-01T13:59:07Z

Planning ahead for email comms would be really helpful to be able to schedule send for a future date and time in broadcast emails rather than save and send or save and don't send only.

Hide attendee number on event listing

2026-04-01T14:03:44Z

Currently we use the max attendees field to ensure we don't go over capacity for room hire/registrations, but it's not something we want to show on the event listing. It would be great if this could be a toggle show/hide option or be able to remove it from event listing.

Event date - allow showing just the one date if event starts and ends on same day

2026-04-01T14:06:37Z

Currently, if an event starts and ends on one day, the date is shown twice and it adds a lot of unnecessary text to event listing

Broadcast email view opens in one list

2026-04-06T21:17:11Z

A dedicated report that lists all recipients who have opened a specific broadcast email in one view instead of needing to view individual activity within each member profile.

Enable regular two-factor authentication for administrators

2026-02-19T01:25:33Z

Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) every time an administrator logs in. The use of 2FA significantly reduces the risk of unauthorised access to accounts, making it a critical line of defence in cybersecurity.

Feedback loop from MailChimp - sub/unsub

2026-02-24T01:06:58Z

Include integration for sub/unsub so that Membes mail-outs better comply with user/customer intentions

Admin Access Permissions

2026-02-24T21:17:13Z

When enabling admin access for a user, you are given an option to "Tick All Permissions". This then ticks all permissions across all four tabs: AMS, CMS, Configuration, Intelligence. There should be a "tick all permissions" option per tab.

Member Directory Pagination & Direct Contact

2026-01-05T02:35:51Z

I’d like to submit two related feature ideas to improve the Member Directory experience and member engagement.1) Pagination / Extended Search ResultsCurrently, directory searches return a maximum of 40 results with no option to view additional matches. Adding pagination, “Next page”, or another browsing method would allow users to explore all relevant members and improve discoverability in larger communities.2) Direct “Contact Member” / “Connect” ButtonAdd an optional contact or connect button in directory listings that messages to the company admin for company profilesLinks to the individual member profile or an internal contact flow for personal profilesThis would encourage safe, platform-based member-to-member interaction without relying solely on visible email addresses or external links.

Allow customisation of system text and labels

2026-01-05T23:41:31Z

It would be really useful to be able to change the default wording used across the platform, like form labels and system messages, without touching the underlying code. For example, this would let us change something like the system-level 'Organisation Name' to something like 'School/organisation name' (we are a school-facing org), or really just switch all the various system-level form labels from 'Title Case' to 'Sentence case' to better align with our style and accessibility preference. I think this is referred to in we development world as a 'language override' feature. Having this option would help make the platform adapt across different users / use cases.

Allow shop to display just GST-inclusive pricing

2026-01-07T01:09:03Z

In the past our org has generally always just shown GST-inc figures across forms and products types for simplicity's sake, and left the GST breakdown to invoicing. Membes' Membership form gives the option to 'Add GST' via the back end, which will show as a clean '$XXX (inc GST)'. However, currently the Shop feature is GST-ex by default and I'm told this cannot be changed. Events give you the 'add GST' option, but it seems to work quite differently to Membership; we end up with the ugly ex GST figs on the form. So for a $200 inc GST product, different bits of the site would show this as: Membership: '$200.00 (inc GST)' twice on form, GST on invoice – perfect Shop: '$181.81' unit price, and '$181.81 + GST' total – not ideal Event: '$181.81 + GST' – not ideal '$181.81 ex GST | $200.00 inc GST' at bottom – fine Ideally we could just have GST looking and working the same as Membership across all parts of the site (or at least have that option).

Enhanced Event Registration Controls (Waitlist & Approval Flow)

2026-01-08T00:15:17Z

We would like additional controls for event registrations to better manage capacity and attendee selection. 1. Automatic Waitlist for Full Events When an event reaches its maximum number of attendees, allow new registrations to be added to a waitlist instead of being blocked. Key points: - Waitlist activates automatically once capacity is reached - Admins can view and promote waitlisted users - Optional automatic promotion when spots free up - Notifications to users when waitlisted or confirmed 2. Registration Approval (Accept / Decline) Add an optional setting per event to approve or decline registrations before confirmation. Key points: - Registrations start with a “pending” status - Admins can accept or decline before adding users to the attendee list - Useful for invite-only, curated, or member-specific events Value - More control over attendance - Better user experience - Less manual work outside the platform

Ability to Reinstate Cancelled Payment Plans

2026-01-09T00:01:18Z

If a payment plan is automatically cancelled after 5 dishonoured payment attempts, there should be an option for admins to reinstate the existing payment plan and update the credit card details, rather than having to create a brand-new plan.

Manually adjusting existing invoices

2026-01-13T06:03:59Z

The ability to adjust existing invoices to add another item (such as a late registration fee) or add a purchase order number to an invoice. This would be easier than cancel the existing invoice and creating a new invoice with the correct line items and/or additional details.

Website HTTP:// field prefilled in profiles

2026-01-27T06:22:36Z

Enable website HTTP:// field to be prefilled in profiles so URLs will show hyperlinked in the directory. This function is currently available in the Event Management, where the "Website (URL) field has "http://" in a grey box prefilled.

Make Events harder to delete

2026-01-27T20:36:46Z

it seems far too easy to delete an event with just two random clicks (or rather accidental clicks). There should be much more friction, especially because deleting events would delete all its registrations, and it would be an absolute disaster to accidentally do that. A solution would be something like typing the word "delete event" or something like that that puts friction in the process. So that someone doesn't just "oh no!" and start clicking and accidentally click the confirm button.

Remove the automatically-included "Who Can Register? Anyone" line from event pages

2026-02-02T00:18:26Z

This line is linked to the Members Only setting within the event configuration, so if you have this off, it displays as anyone can come. This does not work for events that are open to non-members but still invite-only. It is very confusing for invitees and causes difficulty when people who are not invited register. It prevents us being able to use the event system.

Administrators able to delete unnecessary files or discussion posts

2026-02-02T23:00:29Z

Would like the ability for Group Administrators to be able to delete files or discussion forum posts, rather than needing to log a ticket to Membes - saving time and reducing Membes support team workload - especially important if something defamatory or offensive is posted and needs immediate deletion.

Gender to be included as a Filter option

2026-02-11T02:09:54Z

Occasionally, emails need to be sent to just one specific gender. At the moment, there is no way to do this from the Comms module using the in-built filters. The only way we can see to do this is to export a full listing of members to an Excel spreadsheet and manually filter out the specific Gender required, and then manually send an email from a normal email account client (ie. Outlook, etc.). Please include Gender as an option in the in-built Filter system.

Update MailChimp contact email when members change them

2025-11-18T01:02:00Z

We have an issue where our members are encouraged to update their email address as they need. However, this does not update the MailChimp list. We would like to see a mechanism where the MailChimp list is updated on a regular basis from Membes, automatically, so we capture these changes and our members always receive newsletters and communication.

Add "Not Paid for an Event" to the filters for Broadcast Emails

2025-11-21T02:49:27Z

In Communications - Send Broadcast email, could you please add "Not Paid for Event" to the current list of filters? Registered for event ✔️ Not registered for event ✔️ Attended an event ✔️ Not attended an event ✔️ Not paid for an event <-- pretty please ♥️♥️

Allow Payment Total to be adjusted when using CC payment feature in back end

2025-11-25T05:10:53Z

Having the new feature inside the Finance > Invoices section of a member profile is great! But what isn't great is that it doesn't apply the credit card surcharge that's set up in the universal configuration and that would apply when using the membership renewal payment portal via the members website log in.

Dynamic Attendee Counter / FOMO Feature

2025-12-08T15:41:03Z

Right now it is only possible to show the max amount of attendees. And this number won't go down when people sign up. For some events it might be good to have a functionality that enables us to set it so that the number shown on screen goes down with new sign-ups. This to stimulate people to buy their ticket and create FOMO. Make this a optional function tho, as for other events, where sign-ups go slow it is not a good thing to show that traction is slow...

Member-Only Attendee Visibility

2025-12-08T15:52:05Z

It would be useful to have an option to display who has already signed up for an event. This is especially valuable for members, as it helps them see which other members will be attending: potentially encouraging them to register if they notice someone they want to meet. To keep things member-exclusive, the attendee list should only be fully visible to logged-in members. For non-members, the system could show a limited or blurred version of the attendee list (similar to GlueUp), so they know there is traction without revealing personal details. This feature should be optional and configurable per event.

Ability to choose Available Payment Methods for renewals

2025-12-09T03:04:33Z

We would like to choose to turn off 'Pay by invoice' option for renewing members as we now have with Events and our Intuto shop

Custom Fields - where we can use a date to filter information

2025-12-09T03:30:11Z

For example - I have to add in custom fields for accreditation documents, that would have an expiry date. For example First Aid Certificates. First Aid certificates normally expire every 3 years. So I am adding custom fields to store the first aid certificate and also a custom field so that i can put in an expiry date.

Block contact from registering to events

2025-12-10T20:33:55Z

Ability to block contacts who frequently register to events but don't attend or pay invoice.

Change the "Publish Date" default order on website news (News Feed) admin page

2025-12-12T00:19:02Z

Can you please change the "Publish Date" default order on website news (News Feed) admin page to show the latest posts first, rather than the oldest. It is frustrating when you add a new post to the News Feed and then, if needing to go back and make a small edit, you have click on the "Publish Date" to change the order to view the item you just added. It should be a default setting to show the most recent news feed item first.

Let a shop purchase or event registration auto-add the user to a group with access to certain pages

2025-12-17T05:36:03Z

This would be useful in allowing shop purchases and event registrations to automatically grant users access to certain pages by adding them to predefined groups (similar to the member/non-member access function, just not for member status). This would create or link a user account on successful payment or registration, assign them to the appropriate group, and unlock the related content immediately (cutting out the need to email them individually as registrations come through). Would help us as an association that sells access to recording and resource packs from prior PD events, which we would like to be able to provide as embedded youtube videos and downloadables on a web page requiring them to be logged in as the registering user. Ideally we could have a Resources -> My resources menu item which would then show anything they have purchased/have access to a child menu item/page.

Remove 'print mail is sent to this address' message

2025-12-18T04:36:48Z

When using the address field for membership, under primary address it says: 'This is your mailing address. Print mail is sent to this address.' We never send print mail to our members, so it would be great to just remove the message, or at least the last half; it's assuming and asserting something (unnecessarily) that surely isn't true about every org on this platform. Like many orgs, we don't really mind which kind of address our members provide; legislation only requires that we collect *some kind* of address (it could be business, postal or even the individual's residential address). When a user selects 'Address 2', the message above doesn't change, which could be confusing for users (technically they are they being asked to provide two postal addresses, which doesn't seem right). We've been advised that this is system-defined and can’t be edited. I'm struggling to understand what value it's providing to *anyone* at the moment, so could it just be deleted at the system level?

Shop purchases - toggle available or not?

2025-12-03T04:19:42Z

Can we have a "Registration is open" flag like we do on events please? At the moment, to temporarily withdraw an item you need to delete the product.

Payment Method - Invoice wording box - automatic response is wrong!

2025-12-02T06:34:38Z

When you click on Payment Method to change to Pay on Invoice, the information in the text box underneath is not correct and it can't be changed. It doesn't suit our needs and is WRONG. Users should be able to adjust this themselves to suit their needs.

Include secondary emails in search results

2025-11-10T05:06:01Z

Stripe - allow payment methods beyond credit card

2025-11-03T03:13:14Z

Currently, the Stripe integration only allows payments by credit card in the Membes environment, even though our Stripe account allows other payment options. In Singapore, PayNow is one of the most commonly used payment methods, preferred by many users. We also prefer it as an organisation, because the transaction fees are far lower than credit card payments. We would love to see a more standard payment integration through Stripe, where all applicable payment methods are offered in the online payment gateway.

Sort order Country Code in phone numbers

2025-11-03T03:07:56Z

We are an organisation based in Singapore and most of our members are from Singapore as well. When entering a phone number, we can see that +61 and +64 are on top of the list, after which the remainder of the list is "alphabetical". It would make sense always to have the organization's home country code show on top of the list, and the rest in "alphabetical order". So for an organisation in Singapore like us, +65 would show on top and the others (including +61 and +64 in sequence).

Add CPD summary to Event Registrations page in Member Profile

2025-10-30T23:12:47Z

When a member goes into their profiles to see what events they have registered for, if they could also see a summary of how many CPD points they have gained, it would be helpful so they can see at a glance how many other events they need to register for, to ensure they get the number of CPD points they need.

How to cap registrations by membership type - eg one per account

2025-10-29T23:07:42Z

We offer one free ticket for student members, but only one. We would like to cap that membership type.

Membership types on Certificates - now they say "subscription" on the certificate.

2025-10-24T04:58:44Z

The Membership type seems to be pulled from the name of the membership type that is set up, and then adds the word "MEMBER' after it. So if the name of the membership is FULL MEMBERSHIP (so that it makes sense for people to purchase), their certificate says "FULL MEMBERSHIP MEMBER". Also now that there is subscription membership, they are a FULL MEMBERSHIP SUBSCRIPTION MEMBER. Maybe there needs to be a field somewhere which is what it says on the certificate.

Be able to group membership types for intel graph purposes

2025-10-24T04:54:29Z

Now that we have created "subscription" types of memberships, there are twice as many membership types showing up in the Intel graphs. It would be great if I could simplify the graphs by grouping "normal" members with "subscription" members.

Zoom Webinar Plus Integration (and Zoom Meetings?)

2025-10-17T01:34:14Z

Zoom Webinar is currently integrated but Zoom Webinar Plus isn't. Please allow for Zoom Webinar Plus integration - and Zoom Meetings as well if possible. This will help our communications and management of Zoom run events to be much more seamless. Thank you

Enable confirmations for free membership applications

2025-09-30T23:20:16Z

Currently, if a membership type doesn't attract a cost, no confirmation is sent to the applicant or copied to the 'From' email. Would be great if like all other membership types, a confirmation could be issued.
