The Create Requests API provides functionality for managing requests to create a group.

With the Create Requests API, you can:

  • Approve requests to create a group.
  • List requests to create a group.
  • Query requests to create a group.
  • Reject requests to create a group.

Note: This module is only relevant if admin approval is required for creating a group.

To use the Create Requests API, import { createRequests } from the wix-groups.v2 module.

import { createRequests } from 'wix-groups.v2';
javascript | Copy Code

Before you begin

Before you begin coding, make sure to add the Wix Groups application to your site.

Settings for Typical Use Case

  • Site admins determine who can create groups. They can choose to require that site members request approval when creating a group.
  • This setting can be found in your site's Dashboard under Groups Application > General Settings > Group Creation.
  • If set to admin approval required, a site member uses the createGroup() function to create a group, and the group becomes a groupRequest with a status of PENDING.
  • Only a site admin can approve or reject requests to create a group.
  • When a site member's request to create a group is approved, the groupRequest status changes to APPROVED, and the newly created group is added to the Groups List page of your site.

Terminology

  • Group Request: A request made by a site member to create the group.
  • Site Admin: A site owner or site collaborator with admin permissions. Site admins determine who can create groups.
