Registering for a group is a simple process using Rock's Group Registration block. Out-of-the-box this block will ask for basic contact information for the individual and their spouse. By adjusting the block settings, you can customize this block in several different ways. Below we'll walk through some of the common settings but be sure to review all of this block's settings to ensure it's meeting your organization's needs.

Common Group Registration Block Settings:

Mode

There are three entry modes for the registration form.  

Group Member Status

This setting determines the group member status that will be used when they are added to the group. Options include Pending, Active or Inactive.

Connection Status

The registration form will attempt to find a matching record in the database using the first name, last name and email. If a record cannot be found, a new record will be created in the database. When that occurs, this will be the connection status that is used for these new records.

Record Status

This represents the record status that will be used for new records. It's best to leave this as Pending so individuals on your data integrity team can manually review them for possible duplicates and merge the records if needed.  

Workflow

This option allows you to launch a workflow after the registration. The group member will be attached to the workflow as the Entity.

Lava Template

This is a Lava template that will be applied to the top of the registration block. This allows you to customize the experience for the individual.

Result Lava Template

This Lava template is used to craft a response message after the registration is completed.

Result Page

You can optionally send the individual to a new page after the registration is processed.

Show SMS Opt-In

Allows the person to choose whether they would like to receive text messages on their mobile number. The Options for this field may be hidden, shown for first adult or shown for all adults.
