CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

One of the requirements for our membership system was that memberships could correspond to more than one person. Spouses could be added as additional contacts so they can be part of bulk email, etc. So far I have not been able to set this up. I added custom fields for memberships: "Additional household members", "Email2", "Phone2", but it doesn't really work. I think there is a way to do this in CiviCRM but I don't understand the design or workflow.

We allow new members to sign up on a contribution page, and this seems to be working well. But how would a new member enter additional household members when they sign up? Would our treasurer have to enter this manually later? And how would the treasurer get the additional member data. This is part that's missing for me.

As to how your treasurer will get the data they need to set up the contacts...

When creating or editing a profile, under Advanced Settings enter an email address in Notify when profile form is submitted?.  Whenever that profile is submitted an email containing the information will be sent to that address.
