Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
John Horton Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Can I create a group based on the completion of a specific profile field? And/Or could I create a group for users who have filled out all profile fields?
Marc Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 There is no way in which to create groups based on a profile field unfortunately.
Nathan Explosion Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 You can,however, use 'Group Promotions' to move a user to a group or add them to a secondary group based on the value of a completed profile field. SWWAP 1
Solution Marc Posted January 27, 2023 Solution Posted January 27, 2023 You can indeed. 🙂 It's the creation of groups that would be the issue

I've been trying to figure out how to do this. Can anyone help? Think you! The reason why I'm trying to do this is to send out bulk mail based on custom profile fields (volunteer signup options for a nonprofit) on a member's profile. It would be even better if I could simply filter which members to send bulk mail to based on their registration and profile custom profile field selections. I thought assigning people to specific secondary groups based on their profile fields might just be an easier work-around but it's definitely less ideal.

You would go to Members->Members->Group promotions, click to add a new rule, then fill in the details that are appropriate to your particular needs on promotions there

I've been there and looked again but fortunately I'm not finding anything that allows me to promote members based custom profile fields. Edit: I wonder if this is because I'm using an older version, because I've also read that you can filter your bulk mail based on profile fields and I'm not seeing that either. I'm on v4.4.10.

Oof, that is ancient at this point. Would recommend upgrading ASAP.
