Hey there did you get a solution to this? I'm having the same issue!

Did you find a solution to this? Have a similar issue with wanting to send the initial subscriber email a specified amount of time after they sign up eg. 30mins.

Any update on this from Squarespace?
@keraor did you find a solution? I've just come across the same issue and agree it seems like a big oversight!

Hi there,
I'm wondering if there is currently any way to automate email campaigns to free members area subscribers?
Eg. members receive an automatic email thanking them for registering and giving next steps; queue emails to arrive a certain period after they've registered for memberships etc?
I know that I can automate to regular mailing list subscribers, but I can't see any way to set up the same automation for those who register as members, which seems like a pretty essential tool that I had honestly assumed would be available based on the combination of regular email automations & members areas.
I've just migrated my email marketing from Mailchimp to Squarespace and created a Members Area for an online workshop programme we are delivering. We already have the list of approved members, so I have been able to import them successfully into a mailing list and send them an initial welcome email using a regular email campaign.
However, I note that I can not manually add these participants into a membership and give them access to the members area - I have to email them again using the regular email campaign function, and ask them to register for the members area, at which point I'm unable to automate emails to them as free members rather than "customers".
Even if they register as members to gain access to the members area and then I manually add them into an additional mailing list, then it's still not possible to automate an email sequence for them because they have to "subscribe" to the mailing list themselves...
So it seems like the only way to be able to have the combination of 1. participants in a free membership + 2. automated emails enabled is to make people register for a membership AND then subscribe for an additional mailing list... which somewhat defeats the purpose of automating emails to get people engaged anyway.
It would be wonderful to know if anyone has a good way around this, or if not whether this functionality is likely to be forthcoming in future?
Thanks in advance!

See this thread on the same topic:
That thread doesn't have any answer from or related to Squarespace, only MemberSpace...or am I missing something? 😕

Any update on the original question? Have the same issue
Wedding RSVP
in Customize with code
Posted
Hi all! After A LOT of searching, I came across a platform specializing in RSVP management that can be embedded into Squarespace using an embed block. The site is https://rsvpify.com/ and here is a helpful article on their site that shows you how to do it https://help.rsvpify.com/en/articles/1222544-how-do-i-set-up-my-embed-to-work-with-squarespace. I'm sure this is too late for the previous people looking but hopefully helpful for people in the future. I was looking specifically for wedding RSVPs which require grouping of attendees etc but it seems like this can be used for all manner of RSVP events. Hope it helps.
