How To Set Up Pre-Approvals For Facebook Group Members
Dec 25, 2019
Anyone who manages a paid / membership-based Facebook Group understands how time-consuming it can be cross-checking and accepting new members, to ensure they are allowed to be in the Facebook Group.
Facebook has just released Pre-Approvals for Facebook Group Members.
How to set up pre-approvals?
On Desktop
- Go to your Facebook Group
- Select "Edit Group Settings"
- Scroll down until you see "Membership pre-approvals"
- Click "Get Started"
- You have two options - "Choose Groups" or "Upload a File"
- Choose Groups - allows you to select from a group that you manage
- Upload a File - allows you to upload a list of email addresses to pre-approve people on Facebook with those addresses.
The "Upload a File" method is great for those that run external membership platforms you can upload all your members and as they request to join they will be pre-approved.
Note:- they must request to join within 90 days or their pre-approval is canceled.
