Hey @Rubyfee!

When you refer to **group** do you mean a group as part of the [Wix Groups app](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-groups-about-groups)? Or do you mean you want to group them in some way, such as adding them to a specific role, or adding a label to their contact?

Hi Noah,

I mean group as in the wix group app, I should’ve specified, sorry!

Awesome!

Off the top of my head, I don’t believe there is a no-code way of doing it.

That being said, I know we have [this API](https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/wix-groups-v2/members/addgroupmembers) available, which would allow you to add a member to a group.

Perhaps mixing it with the [onMemberCreated( )](https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/wix-members-backend/events/onmembercreated) API so when a member is created in the site, it runs the addGroupMembers API to assign them to the group 🤔

Can try adding this to the code!

May I ask if you can add a private member to a Group?
