GroupHunter for Facebook Group Admins
Stop spending hours every week manually reviewing membership requests. GroupHunter automates the entire process — from approval decisions to welcome messages to lead capture.
The Problem
Managing a growing Facebook Group means:
- Reviewing dozens or hundreds of membership requests daily
- Manually messaging every new member to welcome them
- Losing contact info that members share in their answers
- No way to track who joined, when, and why
The GroupHunter Solution
GroupHunter handles all of this automatically:
Auto-approve members who meet your criteria — set it up once, it runs forever. Members who provide an email and answer all questions get approved instantly. Low-effort requests get declined automatically.
Send welcome messages automatically — every approved member gets a personalised welcome message from you, via Facebook, the moment they're approved. No copy-paste required.
Capture every lead — emails and phone numbers from membership question answers are extracted and stored in your dashboard, and synced to Google Sheets in real time.
Review the exceptions — members who don't clearly pass or fail your criteria land in Pending for your manual review. The routine cases are handled automatically.
How to Get Set Up
- Sign up at app.grouphunter.io
- Install the Chrome extension during onboarding
- Go to Groups and sync your groups
- Enable a group and click Settings
- Configure auto-approve criteria, welcome message, and Google Sheets export
- Done — GroupHunter runs automatically from now on
The whole setup takes about 10 minutes.
