Your group workflow
Set your membership rules, keep useful answers together, and welcome the people who join your community.
How it works
Group Monkey works from the Facebook page you already use to manage requests, so you don't need to learn a new process.
One click on your Member requests page saves the group and its membership questions.
Choose who gets in: complete answers, a verified email, your pre-approved list.
Qualified people are approved on your schedule. Everyone else can be declined.
New members get tagged, messaged, and sent to your CRM or Google Sheet.
What you can do
Approval rules, email checks, member messaging, and lead export, all in one Friender account.
Turn on the rules that matter for your group. Group Monkey checks every pending request against them and approves the people who pass.
Check the email from your membership question with Abstract, Tomba, or Hunter. You decide whether Gmail and other free addresses count.
Connect a Google Sheet of your buyers as a pre-approved list. Only emails on that list are approved.
Pick a question and an answer, and Group Monkey sends that group of people its own DM, so each person's first message is relevant to them.
Turn on auto-decline for people who don't meet your rules. You can send them a message telling them what to do next.
Each approved member's details can go to a webhook (your CRM, Zapier, or Make), a Google Sheet, or a CSV download.
The Friender bar on your Member requests page lets you select and approve, approve all, select and decline, decline all, or undo.
Run every few hours or once a day at a set time. Messages are spaced out with your delay plus a random delay.

Approval is only the first step. These automations keep new members engaged after they join.

Send a different first message depending on how each person answered your questions.
Decline people who skip your questions so you keep the people who are serious about your group.

Questions
Group Monkey is Friender's Facebook group manager. It approves or declines join requests based on rules you set, verifies emails, checks people against your pre-approved list, welcomes new members with posts, comments, and DMs, and sends every new member's details to your CRM, webhook, Google Sheet, or a CSV.
Paste the group link into Friender, or open your group's Member requests page on Facebook and click Add contact(s) to Friender in the Friender bar. Click Save group questions on the same bar so Group Monkey can use your membership questions in its approval rules.
You can require answers to every membership question, require the person's email to be on a pre-approved Google Sheet, and require the email to pass verification. Turn on any combination. People who don't qualify can be auto-declined, with an optional message.
