Membership Settings

Go to Admin → Settings → Membership.

This tab is where you can manage your Village's membership settings.

Membership Types

First, click the Membership Types button to configure your membership types.

Member Directory

You can choose whether to display members' email addresses and physical addresses in the Member Directory:

• Display Members Email in Directory?
• Display Members Address in Directory?

Before enabling either option, we recommend reviewing the Member Directory article to better understand how the directory works and what information will be visible.

Automatic Renewal Emails

The last options allow you to configure automatic membership renewal emails.

If you enable “Send Automatic Renewal Emails?”, Helpful Village can automatically send renewal emails to members. To do this, you must also create an email template and assign it to the appropriate Auto Task, as shown in the example below.

Example: Invitation to Renew Your Village Membership

To automatically send a renewal email 30 days before a membership expires, click the “Email Template for Auto Tasks” field and select “Renew Notice.”

You can also create an automatic “Thank You for Renewing” task using an email template.

Renewal Emails for Household Memberships

The “Only Send Renewal Email to Primary Members” option is particularly useful for household memberships.

When this option is enabled, renewal emails will be sent only to the primary member of the household rather than to every member associated with the household.

For a step-by-step demonstration, see our Live Demo: Membership Settings – Renew Notice.
