We've shipped a set of improvements to Groups that provide more control and make it easier for your members to find the right group.
Group Member Limits
You can now set a maximum member limit on any group directly from Group Settings. When a group reaches its limit:
- It displays a "Full" badge in the Group Finder so members know at a glance.
- Members can no longer join the group until a spot opens up automatically. Group Managers can still add additional Group Members once limit is reached
- Group seekers can use a new filter in the Group Finder to show or hide full and closed groups.
This is great for small groups with limited space, discipleship cohorts, or any group where size matters.
Note: By default, full and closed groups are hidden from Group Finder results. To show them, check Include Full/Closed Groups in the filter menu.
Additional Updates:
- Filtered Group Finder Web Embed:When embedding the Group Finder on your website, you can now pre-filter it by Group Type, city, day of the week, time of day, or frequency. Set your defaults in the embed settings panel, the embed URL updates automatically so members land on the most relevant list.
- Group Finder preview link:A new "View Group Finder" button in your Groups navigation lets you open your public-facing Group Finder in a new tab at any time. No more hunting for the URL in embed settings.
- Alphabetical sorting:Groups in the Group Finder now sort A–Z by default, making it easier for members to scan and find what they're looking for.
