Here's the recording from yesterday's call. We covered: • Now you can invite people with course access privileges via email, CSV, and Zapier • Zapier can be used to invite members to your group + unlock courses for members in the group • Course access panel is much easier to see/use now • @Andrew Kirby's new mini-course "Free Group Funnels" is live • We launched a new podcast where we hang out with creators in this space Check out the recording to see how you can use these features and resources. Enjoy! Want to attend the next Office Hours live with us? See when it's happening on our calendar here

We just shipped some new gamification features to make things more fun! • Custom level names: Personalize your group by naming your levels. • Unlock courses at levels: Unlock a course or something of value when members hit a high level. • Leaderboard redesign: Now you can see your progress and what you can unlock as you level up. Watch the Loom video below for more info on how it works and how to set it up for yourself. This is an experimental feature we're playing with, so we want to hear your feedback! Try it out for yourself and let us know what you think?

I want to know.

On the left is how I setup the calendar in Skool On the right is how it shows for one of our Skool Course customers. Calls are supposed to be every Thursday. I think there's a disconnect between her days and dates in the calendar. Please help, so this doesn't enforce a refund. Thanks.

I took the war map calendar and made some few changes to make it more automatic Here is what I have done : ✅ Automatic Day Highlighter ✅ Automatic Month https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nf_ilw-lUNGJRdjP-B7tQJ0VMYCiHBoWgTH9ti-NbO0/edit?usp=sharing

If you could wave a magic wand and add one feature to Skool, what would it be?

Hello - quick question on reports. We have a few members, and they are at different progress levels w.r.t. the courses we have uploaded. Is there a way to get a summary report of all the members and the progress they have made? I can go to individual members' profile, I can see their progress, but haven't figured out a summary report where I can see that information for all members at a glance. If no such feature exists, may I please request that we put this on the list for request for new features? THANK YOU!

Hey @Sid Sahasrabuddhe Quick one - if you turn off the 'who can message me' in the inbox for multiple Skool groups, do you lose the entire chat history? We'd like to ideally: - Turn off the chat available to our primary nutritionist - Direct those questions to another practitioner - Create a transition from turning off chat box practitioner 1 and send an automated response to direct their questions to practitioner 2 Thank you!

Will Skool ever make payment processing domestic to Skool? This is a feature I am SERIOUSLY looking forward to. The ability to make check out pages and payment processing inhouse via skool would be so incredible.

Any thoughts on a Skool app in the future? I think students would love it!

@Sid Sahasrabuddhe if I turn off Chat for a group and then I initiate a chat with a member of the group, can that member respond back to me at that point? Or are they blocked from responding even though I can DM them?

Announcing https://skool.directory/ While browsing Skool and thinking about how to be a good affiliate for the platform, I found a number of threads around the discovery of groups: - https://www.skool.com/community/group-directory - https://www.skool.com/community/recommended-communities - https://www.skool.com/community/free-skool-communities I also feel like none of the Skool marketing describes how mature and well adopted the platform is. It's only through Google I can see how many groups exist the number of users, and whether they are active. As such I've built a directory for Skool: https://skool.directory/ I hope to solve a couple of problems with directory: 1. Make discovery of other communities easier 2. Bring visibility to the fact that Skool is a well adopted and popular platform I find it very interesting to see how many groups there are and how popular they are (there are some groups with thousands of users). I have plans to do more, but I would like to hear feedback and what you think. So please let me know. And of course, if you're an admin -- please feel free to submit your group!

I'd love to be able to add a header image to the top of modules. Right now the only visual we can add is a video thumbnail if w upload a video. But for certain modules we have no video, and without any image at the top it looks & feels kinda lame... Just my 2 cents :) Would also love: • Ability to set 'drip' on SETS not just modules • Drag & drop module re organization • Ability to turn off progress tracker for certain sets

I just signed up and im still within the 14 day trial, but I like what im seeing and already referred a friend. he used my referral link , but i don't see anything under my referral when i used it. when i checked the link i see that it just says https://www.skool.com/refer instead of the tracking code. How do i know that im getting credit for this person?

Question for expert community leaders: How do you advertise your Skool on Twitter without sending an invite? What I want to do: - Plug school instead of an email list at the end of my Twitter thread - Have applicants fill out a survey - Contact the best-suited individuals Would you just do this with Google forms or ConvertKit, or is it possible to do this 100% on Skool? Thank you, Connor

The shift from Online Courses to a strong Community based product is the obvious evolution of online education - and Skool is the best tool to do it. @Sam Ovens: What knowledge (articles / books / ...) do you use for inspiration to get the most out of it? Here are my TOP 4 Books: - "Build your Community" - Richard Millington - "People Powered" - Jono Bacon - "The Business of Belonging" - David Spinks - "Building Brand Communities" - Carrie Melissa Jones, Charles Vogl The most books focus on building a public community. But most of the Skool users try to build a strong community behind a paywall (e.g. Mastermind). -> Any book recommendations for this specific case? Thank you so much!

Is there anyway to add photos that show up full kinda like facebook?

Hi guys, I assume from what I have heard there is no easy way to transition a large, already-made course into Skool classroom. It has to be done manually one by one correct? I have a potential client on Teachable, I have to sell them on moving to Skool :)

Some of my members are getting confusing / complaining that the GIF button is no longer available for them when in reality it's just not available when posting under lessons. I don't want to provide an incentive for them not to post under lessons and it seems like this UI could be consistent for all locations where you can create a post?

I think it would be great if we could add a list of negative keywords. If any posts contain these keywords, the post would be flagged and to be approved by admin.

Would the Skool creators be open to making the Skool road map public so we can all see what is on the map and give input.

Is there a way to log-out from all the devices you are connected to ?

Is there a way to limit the visibility of threads on classroom content to only those with access?

This feature will be awesome because we won't be spending much time in resending invitations one by one, this takes a lot of time. We try on sending an invitation via CSV to all pending users, however, members that have already joined the community will also get this invitation and that's not good for the user experience.

Hi I really like Skool and I am thinking about creating my own paid or free group. BUT one thing that I am concerned about is how easy it is for my customers to leave and end up here instead :) Instead of focusing on the course and upgrade to other courses. I mean if I pay $99/m do I get to select what will be shown in the navigation to my paying customers or free group members?

Can we get bold text as an option in posts and descriptions? (CRL+B)

not bad! in fact, love it. when are we having that update call?

Would love to white-label Skool

How can I delete specific members and all their data from my group? Thanks.

I'm still figuring out settings for my skool group (calendar, course access etc). I'd love to see from the perspective of members what they're seeing and if something has to be changed. Is there a way?

Hi, I love skool, but it makes my texting, frasing more difficult if I can not use @Sam Owen hashtags in the middle of the sentences. I think, it would help communication and use if the taging would be improved. Thanks!

Hi team, I've just "evicted" one of my students out of the Big Brother house ... (my group) The only thing is, their posts and comments still remain everywhere in the group. Is there a way (apart from manually deleting them all) for them to be deleted once the person is banned? There must be "some" way? Thanks heaps! David Cavanagh
