Connect a Facebook group to Groupwise

Open up a Facebook group page that you have admin access to (or reload the page if you have one open already). You will see a 'Connect group' button located in the bottom right of your screen -- click this to add the group, and open your Groupwise dashboard if this does not automatically open it for you.

Create your spreadsheet

First you'll want to open Google sheets and create a new spreadsheet. If you plan to rename this spreadsheet from Sheet 1(as displayed in the bottom left corner of the sheet) to something else, you will need to do that now before you connect the sheet. Please ensure the sheet is totally blank, and then copy the sheet's full URL to your clipboard.

Connect the sheet to your Facebook group

Return back to the Groupwise dashboard, and you'll now see a section for the group you've just added. Within that section, click the 'Add sheet' button. In the text box that appears, paste the URL to the sheet you just copied, and then click Continue to tell Groupwise which sheet tab to use, and then how much data you'd like to collect on each user.

Using Groupwise to collect member data

Once your first group is fully connected and configured, you'll be able to approve new members and send their collected information straight to your spreadsheet. You will still have the option to approve a single user at a time, or approve all (up to 100 users -- this is a temporary restriction).

Note: It is important to wait to approve any users until you see 'with Groupwise' has been added to the text of the approval buttons (shown above). This is to be sure Groupwise has been properly loaded into the page.

If you still need further assistance with setting up or using Groupwise, please don't hesistate to reach out via chat or email on our support page.
