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 t…

You can configure the group so if a user signs up with a certain email domain (The @example.com) they would be automatically added to a group. Go to the mange tab of the group, membership then the first section Automatic add the domain.

Thanks, but that doesn’t really help here. Our members all use their personal email for this, so they don’t have the same domain.

You can set up an invite link and send it to customers but this will only work if they have not signed up yet I believe. Go to the Members tab then press invite configure the invite and press Save invite.

If you send an invite link it will also work for existing members. :+1: You can even direct them to a particular topic to land on when they arrive, so it can be good for group enrolment, or events. There’s also the bulk invite feature if you already have a list of addresses?

Let me give an example, because my question must not have been clear. I have these three email address: alice@example.com - Belongs to a forum member who is not a group member of SomeGroup bob@foo.org - Belongs to a forum member who is a member of SomeGroup carol@bar.edu - Does not belong to a f…

Ah, ok I didn’t realize that! Will it send the already existing members a notice that they have been added to the group?

Rather than using a list of email addresses, it would probably make more sense to use the API for this. So, when the user signs up, you should automatically enroll them in the group using this API: Discourse API Docs That requires that you also have the user already created in Discourse at the time…

The thing is, what I actually have is a list of email addresses, not user names. My org keeps track of people membership levels by name and email, not forum username because the forum is a small part of the org. The membership coordinator sends me a list of names and emails each week for new membe…

It doesn’t look like that works, actually. When I try to send an invite link I get There’s no need to invite example@gmail.com , they already have an account! [Screenshot 2022-05-08 170003]

Didn’t know. I will look at the wiki and it only said upon account creation. Can you fix it since its not a wiki? (Invite users to a group)
