Using Zapier to create a new member in Invision community

[Jack Corsellis]

I have set up Zapier between my learning platform and IC in order to set up a new member when a new enrolment on course. During setup in the form on Zapier, it asks you to complete what information to be added to the IC record - name, email etc.

It also enforces that you enter a password. I cannot get past this.

what I want is for the member to be able to receive an email asking them to set a password instead of me sending a default password to them (which will end up being the same password for all new members until they change it).

if I add a member in the admin CP then this functionality is available.

is there anyway to make this work via Zapier?

 

thanks

We have an internal suggestion for this.

Thanks Daniel. Does that mean it's on the roadmap or there is a workaround that you could share?

In the interim, or alternatively, this sounds like a good use for OAuth. Is that an option for your LMS to enable IPS to use the LMS as a login provider?

thank you. Great idea but unfortunately not available.
I am still a little unclear what ' we have an internal suggestion ' above means - sounds like it might be coming ...

"We have an internal suggestion" means that the idea has been raised and is something we are considering changing in a future release.
