Overview

Skool can manage the paid community while Newie manages subscriptions and retries. Zapier can invite or update customers in Skool where the required Skool actions are available for the group and plan.

​
What You’ll Need

  • Newie connected to Zapier
  • A Skool Pro plan
  • A Skool community you own or admin
  • The Skool group API key and group URL for Zapier authentication

​
Common Zaps

Subscription Started → Skool member invite When billing starts and the subscription becomes active, invite the customer to the Skool group where the connected Skool action supports it. One-Off Purchase Complete → Skool member invite For one-off paid cohort purchases, send the Skool invite after the purchase is complete where the member-invite action is available. Subscription Ends → Slack/Email notification Notify yourself or a community manager to review the member’s Skool access. Skool’s Zapier removal options are limited, so removal is usually manual. Payment Overdue → Slack notification Alert the community manager so they can decide whether to pause access or wait for retry.

​
Setup at a Glance

  1. If you have not connected Newie yet, follow Connecting Newie to Zapier first.
  2. In Zapier, create a new Zap and choose Newie as the trigger. Pick Subscription Started or One-Off Purchase Complete.
  3. Connect Skool as the action app using your Skool group API key and group URL.
  4. Choose the member-invite action available to that Skool group.
  5. Map Newie email and name to the invite fields.
  6. Test with a real purchase, confirm the customer receives the Skool invite, then turn on the Zap.

​
Notes

  • Before turning on the Zap, confirm Skool exposes a member-invite action for the specific group API key and group URL. If the action is unavailable for that group or plan, send a staff notification.
  • For cancellation removals, treat removal as manual today. Automate the notification, not the removal.
