How can I determine if a user is logged in on my Job Board website in Webflow? Currently, I am unable to display the name or email of the logged-in user. Is there a membership function like "isLoggedInUser()" or something similar that I can use?

You’re trying to detect if a user is logged in to your Webflow Job Board and possibly display their name or email, but Webflow’s native tools don’t expose direct user authentication methods like isLoggedInUser(). Here's how to approach this.

1. Understand Webflow Memberships Limitation

• Webflow Memberships currently does not provide client-side JavaScript APIs like isLoggedIn() or access to user details (e.g., name, email) via scripts.
• The system is server-controlled, and data about the logged-in user is only available within pages protected by Membership logic, such as Member-only pages.

2. Use Conditional Visibility in Webflow Designer

• In pages restricted to logged-in users, you can use Conditional Visibility on elements.
• Example:
• Add a Text Element.
• Go to Element Settings > Conditional Visibility.
• Choose Current Member is Logged In.
• For user-specific content, use User Fields (e.g., Name, Email) using Bindings inside protected pages.

3. Leverage Webflow CMS + Login Redirect Workaround

• Create a CMS "User Profile" page to redirect users after login.
• On that page, you can display the User's Name or Email using Membership fields.
• However, this does not expose a dynamic JavaScript variable like currentUser.

4. Use Third-Party Tools (Advanced Option)

If you need full control (e.g., access logged-in state via JS), consider:

• Memberstack 2.0 (now supports Webflow-native authentication)
• Offers window.$memberstackDom.getCurrentMember() to check if a user is logged in.
• Outseta
• Provides logged-in status and user details via their JavaScript API.

These tools let you use logic like:

$memberstackDom.getCurrentMember().then(({ data }) => {  if (data) {    // User is logged in, access data.firstName, data.email, etc.  }});

(Note: Webflow's own Memberships does not allow this currently.)

5. Future Webflow Features (Option to Monitor)

• Webflow is actively improving Memberships, and a client-side user API is a frequently requested feature.
• Keep an eye on Webflow’s Wishlist or product updates blog.

Summary

Webflow Memberships does not currently offer a method like isLoggedInUser() for detecting login status via JavaScript. You can use Conditional Visibility and embed user fields only on protected pages. For more dynamic behavior, consider using a third-party tool like Memberstack or Outseta that provides client-side APIs to detect logged-in users.
