The **New Signup** trigger is designed to automatically initiate workflows when a new customer purchases or signs up for membership offers, services, or products such as Community Groups for the **first time**. This trigger is particularly useful for welcoming new members, delivering onboarding information, or providing incentives for signing up.  
**NOTE:** If the contact being run through the workflow with the **New Signup** trigger has already been granted access to a Membership Offer or Community Group through other means, this trigger will not work.
