What Memberships Are in Patch
A membership record links a contact to membership details such as:
-
Membership product/plan
-
Start date
-
End date (if applicable)
-
Next billing date
-
Status
How Memberships Get Into Patch
Memberships are created when Patch receives membership data from an integration that supports memberships.
In simple terms:
-
Membership is created/updated in your source system
-
The integration syncs the membership to Patch
-
Patch stores it on the contact record
Where Memberships Show Up in Patch
Contacts main view (table/list)
Membership fields can be displayed as columns in your Contacts list view (depending on account setup). This is helpful for filtering and segmentation.
Contact Profile → Memberships tab
Open a contact profile and click the Memberships tab to view membership records for that contact (product, status, start, end).
Automations → Trigger blocks
Membership data also shows up in Automations through the membership trigger blocks:
-
Membership Started Trigger Block (when a membership becomes active based on Start At)
-
Membership Ended Trigger Block (when a membership ends based on End At / status)
Inside these triggers, you can use Add Conditions to filter by membership details (like Product/Product ID, Status, Start At, End At, Next Billing At, and Tags) and then run plan-specific onboarding or win-back workflows.
Membership Fields You Can Use
Membership data is available as contact fields (often under Memberships []), including:
-
Start At
-
End At
-
Next Billing At
-
Status
-
Product ID
-
Tags []
-
ID
Membership Add-On Requirement
Membership features require the Membership add-on, which is included for accounts with integrations that support memberships.
If you don’t see membership fields or triggers, confirm:
-
your integration supports membership syncing
-
contact customer support to see if the membership add-on is enabled on the account
Common Ways to Use Membership Data
-
Member onboarding when membership starts
-
Win-back workflows when membership ends
-
Plan-based segmentation and messaging
-
VIP staff alerts and perks
-
Billing-related messaging using Next Billing At (if applicable)
Important Things to Know
-
Membership timing depends on the integration sync schedule.
-
If a contact has multiple memberships, filter by Product/Product ID in automations.
-
For “what they did today,” use Orders/Check-ins. For lifecycle, use Membership Started/Ended.
