• Add a button for the user to indicate whether they’re interested in learning more about a course or topic. Once clicked, they’re tagged and entered into a new CRM automation that’s designed to deliver the relevant information via email.
• Add a “Stop” or “Cancel” subscription button to allow your users to indicate that they wish to cancel a current subscription. (Please note that we do recommend caution when using this setup, since recurring payments are involved.)
• Create a custom operation with multiple permission tags, so that your CRM automations
• Add an “Unsubscribe” button inside your membership site so that a user can remove a marketing or newsletter tag without having to fully unsubscribe from all communications. This is a great way to keep your email list healthy and your clients happy.

Using ConvertKit?
Since ConvertKit does not allow users to add webhooks to automations, you’ll want to create a unique tag that will ONLY be used when you want this custom operation to take place:

If you want your membership site users to initiate the tag changes from the membership site, you can select the box in this section to reveal additional settings:

• Button text (HTML code) – It’s a good idea to change the button text so that the user will clearly understand what click the button will accomplish.
• (Optional) Confirmation question (no HTML code)
• Success message after the custom operation – Check the box if you wish to redirect to a URL (thank you or confirmation page), otherwise the confirmation message will show.
• Invalid operation text (HTML code) – This code is shown when the add tag operation is NOT valid for the user (ie. not logged in or not on an order confirmation page.)
• Waiting message (HTML code) – This message is shown while the operation is being performed.
• Limit reached message (HTML code) – If you’ve set a limit in the section above, this message is shown when the operation limit has been reached.

Step 7. Save All Changes

Before continuing, please be sure to save all changes on this page.

Step 8. Initiate Operation

If you would like the operation to be initiated from a user inside the membership site, you can copy the shortcode from Step 6 and add it to your WordPress page.
