Project Overview I run a paid newsletter on Substack and a WordPress website with gated content using the Paid Member Subscriptions plugin. I need an automation that syncs Substack subscriber status with membership levels on my WordPress site. The goal is simple: when someone subscribes to my Substack (free or paid), their membership status on WordPress should automatically update. Platforms • Substack • WordPress • Paid Member Subscriptions plugin • Zapier or Make (preferred automation tools) Required Workflow 1. New Free Substack Subscriber • Create a WordPress user if they do not exist • Assign them to the Free Membership level 2. Paid Substack Subscriber • Upgrade their WordPress membership to Premium 3. Paid Subscription Cancellation • Downgrade their WordPress membership back to Free 4. The system should match users by email address. Technical Notes • WordPress site uses the Paid Member Subscriptions plugin • Automation will likely interact with the WordPress REST API • Substack webhook, API workaround, or Stripe events may be required • The solution should run automatically without manual syncing Deliverables • Fully functioning automation • Clear documentation explaining how it works • Instructions for maintaining or modifying the automation Preferred Experience • WordPress API integrations • Zapier or Make automation workflows • Membership site experience • Familiarity with Substack integrations or Stripe webhooks Budget Open to proposals depending on experience and complexity. The end result should automatically keep WordPress membership levels in sync with Substack subscriber status.— One important tip for your TrueBull setup: The best developers will probably suggest using Stripe events instead of Substack events, because Stripe exposes clean subscription webhooks while Substack’s API is limited. That makes the automation far more reliable. If you want, I can also show you a surprisingly simple architecture many Substack creators use that eliminates Zapier/Make entirely and syncs WordPress memberships automatically. It’s actually cleaner and cheaper long term.
