Small Group Finder

Hi, is there anyway to have someone notified whenever a person registers for a group?  Seems like the only thing it does is add the pserson to the group in a pending state.

Thanks!

    If you click the gear on a Group Registration block you will see these options.

    If you don't already have these blocks setup on your site, check them out on the Rock demo page.  Click on a group and Register to see the block in question.

      Sorry, I was not going to the actual registration page I was looking on the search page.


      So, all I need to do it create a workflow that sends an email to the admin of the groups and then select it here?

      The workflow can only send static information so it will only go to the same person every time. You could notify a small group staff person, but it can't dynamically contact the specific small group leader in question.

      Jeremy. Since the Group Registration form is not a workflow form; is there any way for me to include any of the Group Registration Fields in the email? Like Name, email and what group they registered for, etc...? Thanks!

      The only information that can be included in the new workflow is GroupMember. Here's the description from the block:


      "An optional workflow to start when registration is created. The GroupMember will set as the workflow 'Entity' when processing is started."

    Hi Don,

    The Group Registration block has an option for launching a workflow which can record the new member.  It's not as feature rich as I'd like but you could set it up to notify someone whenever a new registration comes in.  Hopefully in the future the block will have the option to notify a small group coordinator and/or the small group leader of the new member and possibly approve/deny the request.

    Hope that helps.

      Thanks! And sorry. How do I get to those setting again. I looked for them before posting my question. I also watched the workflow videos but that did not help for this issue.

    So in my email do I format that field like this?  {{GroupMember}}
