How do I set up group registration and approve or decline new members?

Describes how to set up group registration and how to approve or decline registrants who complete the registration form.

Updated this week

Group Registration

You will need the Full Write Groups permission to perform this action.

Choose the appropriate group via “Groups” in the left-hand menu, and go to “Actions” and then “Edit group.” Next, scroll over to the “Options” and set membership to "Invite Only.”

By default, the system provides you with a "Generic Group Sign Up" form which people can access when signing up for a group (this form can be changed).

Approving or declining registrants who complete the registration form

When someone completes this registration form the group admin will be notified via email and within the dashboard view of their One Church Software account.

Both of these notifications link you to the registrant and then provide an option to approve or deny acceptance to the group. If "denied" you have the option to email the reason(s) why.

If you choose "Denied" you have the option to send an email explaining why (see below).

You can fully customize that email, including the subject and content.

It supports HTML so you can include links, images, emojis, anything you'd like. This will help you provide alternative options for the person to find their fit in another group.
