Organized discussion spaces built around your program.
Create channels for every cohort, topic, and access tier. Control who sees what, how members post, and how discussions are organized — all inside your program.
Groups Feature
Create and configure every channel your program needs.
Every channel has its own access level, posting rules, and organization options — built to fit your program structure.
-
Control who can access each channel
Set how each channel is accessed once, and the right members get the right channels — without you managing manually every time someone joins.
-
Control who can post and how
Set posting permissions per channel — all members can post, or admins only. Make a channel read-only for announcements. Disable reactions or comments on individual posts when needed.
-
Auto-join and organize with categories
Turn on auto-join so new members are added to specific channels automatically on signup. Group related channels into categories so your sidebar stays organized as your program grows.
-
Run multiple cohorts in parallel
Use segments to run Cohort A and Cohort B at the same time with no crossover — each sees only their own channels, inside the same group.
-
Link courses and events directly into channels
Attach a course or event to any channel so members see it right where they're already active — no navigating elsewhere to find it.
Broadcast and moderation
Broadcast announcements with notifications. Moderate posts with full control.
Send an announcement that reaches every member instantly, and keep your channels in order with the moderation controls your team needs.
-
Broadcast a post to all members
Send a post with a push notification to every member at once — across iOS, Android, and email.
-
Pin and feature posts
Pin any post to the top of a channel, and feature important posts so they're always visible to every member entering the channel.
-
Delete posts and comments
Admins and moderators can delete any post or comment, disable commenting on a post, or remove and block members from the group.
Messaging
Direct messages and group messages between any members.
Members send 1:1 direct messages to any other member in the group. Admins and members can also create group message threads with multiple participants — without it needing to be a public channel.
-
1:1 direct messages
Any member can message any other member directly. Coaches can DM students individually without it appearing in a public channel.
-
Group message threads
Create private group message threads with multiple members — useful for accountability pods, study groups, or breakout conversations.
Member roles and management
Assign roles, manage access, and export your member data.
Give every member the right level of access, keep your group under control, and take your member data with you whenever you need it.
-
Admin, Moderator, and Member roles
Assign co-coaches as admins and community managers as moderators — and set exactly what each moderator can access and do.
-
Export member data
Export your full member list — names, emails, join dates, enrollment status — as a CSV whenever you need it.
-
Remove and block members
Remove any member from the group at any time. Block members to prevent them from re-joining.
Groups Feature
Everything else included with Groups.
Every feature that comes with Groups out of the box — no add-ons required.

-
Newsletters to all members
Create and send newsletters directly inside GroupApp — program updates, content drops, and announcements to your full member list.
-
Community analytics
View engagement rates, active members, and activity across your channels and community — from the admin dashboard.
-
Multiple channel layout options
Set each channel to display as a feed, list, or grid — depending on how content is best organized for that channel's purpose.
-
Edit posts and comments
Members can edit their own posts and comments after publishing. Admins can edit any content in any channel.
-
Member directory in each group
Every group includes a searchable member directory, so members can find and connect with each other.
FAQs
