Update Contact HTTP POST

This Article Applies to

The update-contact HTTP POST function is a system for Infusionsoft to notify Memberium that an update has been made to the contact, and that Memberium needs to update the contact’s records. This is a more efficient system than having Memberium constantly check for updates. It’s also more efficient than using the [memb_sync_contact] shortcode, which will resync the contact everytime the page it’s on displayed, and not only after changes.

[memb_sync_contact] may be preferable if you need the contact resynchronized immediately in a time critical manner before the rest of the page loads. If you’re simply redirecting to a thank you page, then the update-contact HTTP post should be sufficient.

Pre-Built update-contact Link

To make it easier for you to setup your HTTP POST actions, we’ve supplied a pre-built update-contact HTTP POST link URL at Memberium > Settings > HTTP posts/links page.

Simply copy and paste this into your Campaign Builder or Action Set, no other setup is necessary.

Nestable Shortcodes

When working with conditional shortcodes it’s often useful to have a series of tests, one after another, where each test determines if the user is qualified to continue to the next test.

Due to a limitation in WordPress’s design, the built-in shortcode system is very fast but it does not know how to count levels of nesting, so it cannot match each opening tag with its correct closing tag. In order to cleanly support this feature while not sacrificing performance, we provide the ability to nest shortcodes by giving each nested group of shortcodes a unique name by adding a number to the end. You can think of this like a Russian Matryoshka doll.
