Stormy_KnightQ: Using BD primarily as Membership management platform
Hi, I have been looking at BD each time it has come through, but could not find a need for it until now. Here are my questions to see if it could fit.
I am in the process of building AI Agents for small businesses. I need a management solution to control access to the built agents and collect payments from business people who I build them for.
Most of the BD bells & whistles are for public interaction. But I need a place to:
- give access to each paying member's unique agents
- Give access to instructions on how to optimize and use their agents,
- allow people to signin for a free lead magnet at the top of the funnel and get them on the newsletter/webinar/event list for the middle of the funnel
- Host events, ask anything chats, forum, etc.
- Maintain a mailing list.
Compariable to Podia, Convertkit, etc. Is this doable? Thanks.

🔐 Private Member Access Made Simple
Each member can be assigned to their own membership plan. This makes it super easy to protect private pages, resources, or instructions — no custom coding required.
Just move a member to their own plan, create pages assigned to that plan, and only they’ll see it when logged in.
📁 Custom Content for Each Member
You can add download links, videos, or embed tools on those private pages — great for onboarding, agent access, or premium content.
📧 Lead Magnets + Emails
Use BD forms to collect leads, add them to your newsletter list, and trigger autoresponders (built-in or via Zapier).
🧰 Events, Posts & More
Use built-in post types like Events, Articles, Discussions, etc. to build out engagement tools for your members.
Let us know if you have any more questions — always happy to help!
