Members beta - Redirect to members page is user is logged in

Community resources General

Hi Webflowers,

I’m working with membership beta and I would like my app can redirect home page url to members page if the user is logged in.

The current behavior is:

  • User goes to myapp.com (home page)

  • User log in

  • Redirect to member page myapp.com/members

The thing is if the user is still login and they type myapp.com, they are redirecting to myapp.com
But I want to redirect them to myapp.com/members if they type myapp.com and they are logged in.
If they are not logged in, the app should redirect to myapp.com

Expected behavior:

User logged in

  • Type myapp.com

  • Instead of redirect to myapp.com redirect to myapp.com/members

User no logged in

  • Type myapp.com

  • Redirect to myapp.com

Is there any way to do that? Or something similar?

According to the Webflow Memberships BETA team, there are a few Member-specific-content features in the works. It’s not clear what that will result in, but these have been brought up in the forums-

  • The ability to detect login at the script level, including Member ID and groups, so that script-level decisions can be made.
  • Sections that hide/show depending on group access.

Either of those could be used to implement your nav design, but at present, neither are available.

If you need this now though, you could flip your plan on its back, like so-

  • Make your homepage members only
  • When members are logged in, they can access it and see member stuff
  • When users are NOT logged in, they’ll get bounced to the access denied page. That page can contain a script to redirect them to a /public page, which is then your public-access homepage.
