Why user creation matters for Keap membership sites

A Keap contact is not automatically a WordPress user. For a protected membership site, the contact needs a WordPress account that can log in, load the matching Keap record, and receive the right content access based on tags and membership rules.

iMEMBER360 bridges that gap by creating the WordPress user from the Keap contact data when your campaign sends the appropriate authenticated request.

The typical onboarding flow

  1. A person buys, opts in, or reaches an onboarding step in Keap.
  2. Keap applies the membership or access tag your site uses.
  3. Keap sends an HTTP Post to WordPress using the i4w_genpass action, the configured iMEMBER360 security key, and the Keap contact ID.
  4. iMEMBER360 uses that contact ID to create the matching WordPress user account.
  5. Your Keap campaign sends the login details and welcome instructions.

Access still belongs to the Keap contact record

The WordPress user account gives the member a login. The access decision still comes from the Keap contact record. That means the same tags used for onboarding can also control protected content, course access, member resources, upgrades, payment-failure handling, and lifecycle messaging.

Good use cases

  • Instant access after a Keap order.
  • Lead magnets that become a protected starter account.
  • Course onboarding after a campaign goal is reached.
  • Client portals created after a service purchase.
  • Partner or affiliate portals created after approval.
