You set the rule for a group once, and we take it from there. New people who sign up land in the groups that match them. Members already on your site? We can add them in too, quietly in the background. All of it lives in the group's own edit screen, so there's nothing extra to learn.
Happens the second someone finishes signing up
A focused plugin that does one job well. You set a rule for a group, and we handle the rest: new sign-ups land in their groups straight away, and we can sweep through existing members in the background when you ask us to.
When you open a group to edit it, you'll see a new tab called Auto Join. Your rules live there, with the group they apply to. No new settings page to find.
When someone signs up, we check your rules and put them in the groups that fit. They land somewhere they belong before they've even finished poking around.
Turning on a rule for existing members? We'll work through them in small batches in the background. Your site stays responsive, and the process doesn't care how big your member list is.
For each rule, you choose the audience: everyone, just people with certain WordPress roles, or just those with specific BuddyBoss profile types. Whatever fits the group.
Promote a Subscriber to Editor, and they slide into the editor-only group right away. Switch someone's profile type and the right rules re-check too. You can choose whether each group pays attention to these changes or not.
Automation can go sideways when it's pushy. We built this one to be careful: we only add people, we never take anyone out, and we never double up.
We tried to make this feel like it was always there. Settings live with the group they belong to. The heavy lifting happens in the background, off to one side, while you do your thing. Once you've set it up, you can mostly forget about it.
Open the group, pick who joins, hit save. No wizard, no extra screens, no fuss.
Same plugin, same features, no matter which plan you pick. You're just choosing how many sites you'll use it on.

Right inside the group's edit screen, under a new tab called Auto Join. We didn't add a separate settings page because rules really belong with the groups they're for. Open BuddyBoss → Groups → All Groups, click the pencil on a group, and you'll find it.
No, never. The plugin only adds people, that's it. If you want someone out of a group, you handle that yourself in BuddyBoss. We did it this way on purpose, so changing a rule won't ever accidentally yank someone out of a group they've been in for months.
Yes. When you turn on a rule for existing members, we work through them in the background a handful at a time. The site stays fast for everyone else, and if something interrupts the run it just picks back up from where it stopped. You don't have to babysit it.
You've got three options for each rule: everyone, just people with certain WordPress roles, or just those with certain BuddyBoss profile types. The profile types option only shows up if you've got that feature switched on in BuddyBoss. If you want to pause a rule, just pick "None" and your settings are kept for later.
Nope. If someone's already in the group, we skip past them. Each bulk run also remembers who it's already worked on, so nobody gets touched twice. Saving the same rule again is harmless, it won't kick off another run.
We remember what we last did for each group, so if the Auto Join fields look the same as last time, we skip the bulk run. Saves you from re-processing the same members over and over. If you want to force a fresh run, just flip the rule off and back on, or change one of the role or profile type selections.
If you want, yes. There are two switches in the Auto Join tab, one for role changes and one for profile type changes. Flip either on and we'll re-check the rule when those things happen. They're off by default, so groups that don't need this don't pay any extra attention to it.
We built it for BuddyBoss Platform with the Groups component on. You'll need BuddyBoss Platform 3.0 or newer, since that's when the new group edit screen showed up (and that's where we put our settings). If something's not quite right, you'll see a clear note in your admin area, not an error.
It shouldn't. New sign-ups only need a quick check, and the bigger work for existing members runs in the background, not while someone's loading a page. If a group has both rules set to "None", it adds nothing on top.
Nothing alarming. The people already in their groups stay put, because that information belongs to BuddyBoss, not us. We just stop adding new ones. Your rules are kept on file, and they pick right back up the moment you turn the plugin on again.
WordPress 6.0 or newer, PHP 8.0 or newer, and BuddyBoss Platform 3.0 or newer with the Groups component switched on. If something's missing, you'll see a friendly note explaining what to fix.
Give the plugin a real try on your site. If you hit a wall in the first 14 days and we can't figure it out together, just email us. We'll process a refund and there are no hard feelings.
You set the rule once, and the plugin takes care of the rest. New sign-ups go where they belong. Existing members get caught up in the background. From $29.
