CB Auto Actions help

I've been trying since purchase of the module to get it configured for a fairly simple task with no luck. Please advise:

I'm using Joomla 2.5, with CB v 1.9, and auto actions v 3.1.3

The goal is to allow users, upon registration --OR-- registered and confirmed users, upon editing their profiles...to supply a password that will automatically add a ACL access group to their account allowing them access to premium membership downloads.

I configured an additional field in the field manager for cb_accesskey, type text, attached it to registration and their profile and published it.
Next, I created an new auto action type UserGroup, with triggers"onAfterUserRegistration,onAfterUserUpdate,onAfterUserConfirm", type "User", allowed public and registered access, set the conditions to cb_accesskey = string, set mode add Usergroups to "premium members".

Upon registering or after editing the profile and supplying the correct string...nothing happens!

Please help

Nick,
I've reviewed the tutorials you've suggested, updated the plugin to version 4.0, and simplified my test case with one action as follows:

Type: Usergroup
Trigger: onAfterUserUpdate
User: Automatic
Access: Registered
Conditional: [cb_accesskey] Equal To TEXT-STRING
Mode: Add Usergroups
Groups: Paid Member

I've tested this by registering a new user, confirming the registration, logging in, editing the profile by adding the TEXT-STRING to the registration enabled field and updating the profile...still nothing...no user group added...please advise

Remove the conditional then see if it works. If not set Access to default Everybody and then see if it works. If not then ensure your action is published and CB Auto Actions is enabled within CB > Plugin Management.

Many Many Thanks, krileon!
removing the conditional, saving the action and re-instating the conditional did the trick!

Now...I want to add the same function of adding groups to user's profiles upon registration...can I just add a trigger? or should I make a separate action?

Just add the after registration trigger to your existing action and it should work. Latest release has a search feature for the trigger dropdown so should be pretty easy to find by typing "reg" or some other similar keywords.
