I am using MemberService.Created event in ApplicationStarted override for sending data from Umbraco backend members to Podio.

The event is firing properly and I am getting member object but all the custom properties are returning null values and I can not save any data back to the member custom properties.

Here is some code samples. Am I doinng anything wrong or is it a bug?

protected override void ApplicationStarted(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
    {
        MemberService.Saved += MemberService_Saved;
        MemberService.Created +=MemberService_Created;
        MemberService.Deleted += MemberService_Deleted;        
    }

    void MemberService_Created(IMemberService sender, NewEventArgs<IMember> e)
   {
        var member = e.Entity;
 string lastName = member.GetValue<string>("lastName"); //returns NULL even though I have filled out data in Umbraco back office         
        int podioId = PodioSettings.CreateMemberInPodio(member); 
            //member.Properties["memberCreatedBy"].Value = "user";   TRIED THIS WAY ALSO AND SAME RESULT
            //member.Properties["podioMemberId"].Value = createdPodioId;
        member.SetValue("memberCreatedBy", "user");
        member.SetValue("podioMemberId", createdPodioId);
        ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService.Save(member, false);//NO DATA SAVED TO UMBRACO
    }
