Membership automation

Membership that runs itself

Connect employees to the right groups from day one, and keep it accurate as roles and teams change.

HRMS-connected rules

Set membership criteria once, by location, department, function, grade, business unit, or any custom HRMS attribute. No manual upkeep.

Auto-join on onboarding

New hires land in the right groups from day one. Department, location, and role-based communities are assigned automatically.

Auto-remove on transfers

When someone moves teams or relocates, they're removed from old groups and added to new ones, instantly.

Bulk management tools

Add or remove entire departments, locations, or employee types in one action. Custom filters across the org.

Connected stack

Plays well with the tools your team already uses

Auto-sync directory and groups via HRIS. Push announcements through Slack, Teams, or email, right in the channels your people watch every day.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

By default, any active employee can create a group. Super Admins can restrict this to managers and administrators only if they want more control over the community structure.
