Full Service Features

The Swiss Army Knife of group communications, GroupSpot gives admins all the important features they need to run their groups in a modern, highly efficient, and super effective way.
Dynamic Feed
Easy-to-navigate and easy-to-manage dynamic group feed. Your most important and timely content is always refreshed at the top of the feed for your members. 
Multi-View
Change your view inside your group with a simple swipe. Navigate among your main feed, your upcoming calendar view, and your pinned post view. 
Calendars
Calendars can be easily synced to your device or external calendar. Choose between upcoming or monthly view calendars and never miss a beat with event reminders. 
Custom Identity
Let them know who you are with a great header and avatar. Include group details like location, social media, rules, and about. Teams can even add their school colors to show their spirit.    
Chat
While your feed is perfect for the more formal posts, chat is great for the banter amongst members. Chat 1:1, multi-person, or with the entire group.
Group Details
Give your members a quick overview of your group, including admins, creation date, location, group settings, website, social media, rules, and about. 
Dark Mode
GroupSpot offers a dark mode setting for dim light situations and at night. This setting is especially useful when reading in low light with less eye strain.

Posting

Craft posts that fit your needs: create a shared photo album with a standard post, attach a signup to your next event, or add reminders to an upcoming game. 
Recurring Events
In a single event post, you can fill your entire calendar with recurring events. You also have the ability to edit them all at once or one at a time. Easy to create and intuitive by nature. 
Location
Adding geo-mapped locations to any post is easy. Renaming and saving locations makes them easy to find for future reference and reuse. 
Event Status
Event status can be updated at any time. Scheduled events can be postponed, canceled, have a new date or time, and many more options. We have your change of event covered.
RSVP & Availability
RSVP and Availability can extend to players on a roster or your entire group. You can now have an accurate headcount for the big game or the end-of-year BBQ.
Weather Forecasts
Our weather predictor shows up on any event post three days out from the actual event. This helps with general planning, travel, and any last minute changes required.
Pinned Posts
Want to give your most important posts more prominence? Now you can by pinning posts. Swipe views to arrive at your pinned post view. 
Post Author
Organizers have the option to post as the voice of the group or themselves. Sometimes people prefer the anonymity of the group, other times they want to be clear about who’s posting.

Adding to your Posts

Create dynamic posts by adding photos and video or important attachments, signups, polls, and forms. Give your members all the information they need in a single post. 
Shared Photo Albums
GroupSpot gives you the ability to turn a standard photo post into a shared photo album so that members can contribute to and download from this centrally located archive.
Video
Why say it when you can show it? GroupSpot gives you the ability to share your favorite short-form video clips with your audience across both posts and chats.
Signups
Signups make it easy to share the workload. They’re fun to create and can be attached to any post. You can even assign blocks of time and members to the tasks.
Attachments
Attachments can be added to any post. Hit the plus button and add that important file. Attachments live in a single repository in your menu, making them easy to find. 
Polls

Forms
Gathering information from your members has never been easier. Easy-to-view results that can be printed from your phone. This is helpful with registration, merchandise orders, and surveys.

Scheduling & Delivery

Schedule and deliver your posts, emails, push notifications, and in-app alerts where you want, when you want. And take advantage of automated reminders so you can set it and forget it.
Post Display
When creating events or games, choose to have them live on both your feed and calendar for near term events or calendar only for events in the future.
Drafts
Similar to email, you can save your posts as drafts. This is helpful when you’re in the middle of a post or you just want to schedule the post for later.
Post Silencer
Turn off new post notifications when posting off-hours or you’re not looking to draw attention to a specific post. This works well when adding a season's worth of events or games.
Automated Reminders
Set automated reminders on your most important events so you never miss a beat. Choose between push notifications and emails. Lessen your load with automated reminders.

Member Directory
Start by knowing who belongs to your group and how to reach them, especially those not in your personal contacts. Member details are easy to update in your profile settings.
À La Carte Features
While the standard feature set is plenty for most groups, admins also have the ability to add universal features à la carte – Rosters, Celebrations, etc. – to their group menu.
Member Administration
We realize it takes a village. When you need a hand, promote members to admin or co-owner. And when it's time to pass the torch, GroupSpot makes it easy to step down.
Subgroups
Subgroups allow admins to parse communications into smaller groups within the larger group. Now communications can be appropriately tailored to cut down the noise.
