Description
Auto-Approve Skool Community Members with AI Screening using GPT-4o
Automatically screen and approve Skool community membership requests using AI. Stop manually reviewing dozens of applications — let GPT-4o-mini evaluate each applicant based on your custom criteria and auto-approve qualified members.
How it works
- Runs on a schedule (every 6 hours by default)
- Connects to your Skool community via the Skool All-in-One API on Apify
- Fetches all pending member applications with their answers
- GPT-4o-mini evaluates each application against your criteria (LinkedIn profile, answer quality, email validation)
- Approved members are automatically accepted into your community
- Rejected members stay pending for your manual review — no one gets auto-declined
Perfect for
- Skool community managers handling high volumes of membership requests
- Course creators who want quality control without the manual work
- Paid communities that need to verify applicants before granting access
- Anyone running a Skool group who wants to save hours every week
What makes this template unique

- AI-powered screening with customizable prompts — adapt criteria for any type of community
- Detailed sticky notes explain how to customize the AI prompt, choose alternative models (Claude, Gemini, Llama), and extend the workflow
- Cookie-based auth for fast operations (~2 seconds per action)
Setup
- Get an Apify API token (free tier available)

Customizing the AI prompt
The system prompt defines your screening criteria. Adapt it for your community:
- Entrepreneurship community? Check for LinkedIn, specific challenges, business experience
- Fitness community? Check for fitness goals, experience level, commitment
- SaaS/Tech? Check for company, role, technical background
- Course community? Check for learning objectives, prior knowledge
Alternative AI models
You can replace GPT-4o-mini with:
- GPT-4o — More nuanced judgment, 10x cost
- Claude 3.5 Haiku — Similar speed and cost, use the Anthropic node
- Gemini 2.0 Flash — Google’s fast model, use the Google AI node
- Llama 3 via Ollama — Free and self-hosted, use the Ollama node
