How do I review membership applications?

Viewing your applications to join your group on Be Collective as a volunteer manager is easy! If you've received a group membership application, you'll receive a notification by email, and within our web app.

Pending applications appear on your group dashboard in manage mode under Actions, and on the Members tab.

Open pending applications

From the group dashboard:

1. Open your group management page
2. On the Summary tab, in the Actions panel, click the count under Pending membership applications

From the Members tab:

1. Open your group management page

2. Open the Members tab

3. Open the Pending tab

Review and respond

1. Optionally update the applicant's Member type from the drop-down in their row

2. Click View & respond for the application you want to action

3. Review the application form (standard fields plus any custom questions from your group application form)

4. Click Approve or Decline

If you approve, the window closes and you return to the members list.

If you decline:

1. Confirm in the pop-up that you want to decline

2. Optionally enter a message to the applicant

3. Click Decline

The applicant is removed from the pending list. A decline triggers an automatic email to the applicant.
