Processing membership renewals
Your organization’s membership renewals can be managed in the Renewals subsection of the Membership module’s Workflow Manager. The Workflow Manager can be accessed in the left sidebar navigation menu.
Managing and tracking membership renewals
Membership renewals are tracked according to renewal status and are sorted into tabs. These status tabs appear in accordance with your organization’s preferences selected in the Membership Type Settings subsection, Workflow Settings. Renewals status tabs include:
- Upcoming Tab: all memberships that will expire soon. By default, memberships within 30 days of expiration will be displayed (this can change if you edit your membership types settings).
- Awaiting Approval Tab: all renewals awaiting organization approval.
- Awaiting Payment Tab: all renewals awaiting payment.
- Closed Tab: This tab contains all completed, refused, and declined renewal items.
The actions to move them to the next step will appear on the right, in the above screenshot ‘confirm’ or ‘refuse’. Note that when you get into each respective member, a shortcut to each action that can be taken will appear on a top banner (see below screenshot), from which you can update the member renewal status.
Renewal workflow: Auto cancel membership
Please note, that there are three scenarios, in which, if nothing happened in specific time duration, the system will auto cancel the Renewal:
Members are now able to Rejoin the membership
If nothing happens in the previous 3 scenarios, and Membership is auto canceled, the expired member will see the “Rejoin” button:
After pressing on it, the expired member will be led to a pre-filled application:
