Membership Website → GHL CRM Integration
Bi-directional sync between WordPress membership tiers and CRM tags, permissions, and dunning.
How Data Flows
The Operational Bottleneck
Member subscription status in WordPress was disconnected from the CRM. When a client cancelled their membership or failed a payment, their CRM tag remained 'Active Member', causing automated newsletter and VIP client emails to continue sending.
System Architecture & Logic
Configured webhook triggers in WordPress membership plugins hooked directly to LeadConnector/GoHighLevel workflows. Implemented immediate status synchronization: status changes in WordPress dynamically update CRM contact tags ('Member: Active', 'Member: Past Due', 'Member: Cancelled'). Created a revocation workflow that removes member access tags and pauses active member sequences upon cancellation.
What I Built & Tested
Webhook listeners for WordPress membership lifecycle events (Signup, Upgrade, Renewal, Cancellation)
Contact field sync architecture ensuring current plan tier and status reflect in GHL
Tag hygiene automation that cleans legacy tags prior to applying updated membership tiers
Automated dunning sequence for failed membership renewals with update link delivery
Inside the Build
