Invite paying customers to your Skool community from Newie. Zapier sends the invitation; the customer joins by accepting it in their email.

​
Set up the invitation

You’ll need a Skool Pro plan, owner or admin access to the community, and its group API key and group URL. Connect Newie to Zapier first. If you use Payment Paid, check for an existing membership or invitation before inviting again: the trigger also runs for subscription renewals and instalments. Skool has no Zapier search action, so keep an invitation log in a tool such as Google Sheets, or have the community manager check in Skool. Do not assume the Zap can look up membership directly. See Skool’s invitation guide for the customer’s joining steps.
  1. Create a Zap with Subscription Started if the invitation should go out on the billing start date. Use Payment Paid for a one-off cohort purchase or if membership must wait for confirmed payment.
  2. Filter on the service’s Offering ID so unrelated payments do not send invites.
  3. In Skool, open Settings → Plugins → Zapier, enable it and copy the group API key. Connect Skool in Zapier with that key. For Group URL, enter only the part after skool.com/, not the full web address, then choose Invite Member.
  4. Map the customer’s usable email address to Email Address. The invitation needs to reach the address they will use to join Skool.
  5. Test with an email address you own. Click JOIN NOW in the invitation, check the group and course access, then remove the test member and cancel any test subscription before turning on the Zap.

Plan how membership ends

Skool’s published Zapier actions do not include removing a member. Use Subscription Ends to notify the community manager, who reviews the service and removes access in Skool when appropriate. The event also fires when an instalment plan completes, which may not end the membership. For Payment Overdue, ask the community manager whether to keep access while Newie retries an eligible payment. Last updated: 2026-09-09
