I’m the admin for a organization’s forum with several levels of membership, which correspond to custom group membership in the forum. Currently this requires a manual process for every new member where I get the new members email address, check to see if that is associated with a user account and then add them to the custom group. What I would like is a script that would take a list of email addresses, and if there is a user with that address add them to a group and if not send out an invite with the group permission already added. How would I write a script like that? Thanks! EDIT: Example from below: I have these three email address: [alice@example.com](mailto:alice@example.com) - Belongs to a forum member who is not a group member of SomeGroup [bob@foo.org](mailto:bob@foo.org) - Belongs to a forum member who is a member of SomeGroup [carol@bar.edu](mailto:carol@bar.edu) - Does not belong to a forum member. I’d like to add the user associated with [alice@example.com](mailto:alice@example.com) to SomeGroup (and send a welcome message), do nothing for the user [bob@foo.org](mailto:bob@foo.org), and send a forum invite with the group enrollment flag to [carol@bar.edu](mailto:carol@bar.edu). --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/group-membership-scripting/226473)._
