Ivorey™ communities are designed to replace tools like Mighty Networks, Skool, Discord, Facebook groups etc. Whilst you may be running a membership, a mastermind or a group program, - think of a "community" as an interactive space for your users to engage with each other, share content, ask questions and build connections. Once you create a community, you can provide login details for people to access the beautifully branded portal you create online too.

​

Ivorey™ communities can be structured to organise different topics of conversation into channels. These community areas are seamlessly integrated into your courses, eliminating the need for separate community software. You can create an integrated experience by linking relevant courses in the learning tab, some members also utilise this feature to upsell other courses. You can help members keep track of upcoming calls using the built-in events calendar, and encourage participation by using gamification tools like leaderboards and rewards.

​

When someone purchases a product, you can automatically grant access that will trigger an email to be sent automatically providing your new member with their login details via the community email notification settings. We have pre-made email templates ready for you inside the Ivorey™ Template Library to shortcut this process for you!

Most Ivorey™ clients setup multiple communities, breaking them down by offer type. For example, a Coach or Course Creator could have all of these community portals:

By giving each community its own space, you can customize the branding, who gets access and take full control of each member experience. Plus your members can seamlessly navigate between different communities using the switcher feature.

Besides from loading in your actual content (e.g. pinned posts, videos, uploading files and adding events to the calendar) - each community portal will take approximately 30 minutes to fully brand and set up - including all your automated emails that will replace the system default ones inside your community email notification settings (since we have pre-made all of the templates for you!)

There are three types of communities available in Ivorey™ you can choose to create a private, paid or free community.

A course is a portal that houses all your learning material and content. A community is similar to a facebook group - its a place where you connect, collaborate and chat with your members.

Absolutely! Our mission is to close what we've coined the 'Implementation Gap', which is why women hire us to "do it for them" every single day! Browse and book a done-for-you service right here.

There are currently no restrictions on the number of groups or the number of users within the groups that you can create in a Community. It's important to be aware that this may be subject to change.

Yes! Please download the Kollab app (here for iPhone and here for Google) which is a free inclusion of all Ivorey™ plans. You will use the same login details as you usually do for your community. You can provide all of your members the same details to also download the Kollab app - and sign in with their own login details too.

We are so excited to say that yes - you can! See the steps in our Create and Brand a Community guide.

Inside the settings for each community group, you'll see an option that allows you to choose between Public or Private. Private means only members can see the contents of that group, whereas public is available for anyone to see - even if they aren't a member. Just below that setting, there is another option that says "Accessible From Switcher" - toggle this ON if you want people to be able to browse all your available groups (no matter whether they are public or private). Turn it OFF if you don't want it shown.

You can only modify your community URL once so it’s important to carefully check spelling before saving any changes.

To remove a member from a community:

To add links inside your Community, follow the steps outlined in our Create and Brand a Community guide.

Once a community has been made inactive, members will no longer be able to post, but you, as an admin, are still able to view the community. To close a community, please refer to our Close Down A Community guide.

Inside any group, select the [Chat] button on the top right and you'll see a list of your group members pop-up. Click on any member to initiate a private chat with them. If you'd like to disable the chat feature within any of your community groups, please login to your group, then go to your [Profile] in the top right, then [Account Settings] and you can toggle the chat feature on/off.

Go to [Site Pages] > [Client Portal] > [Settings] > [Apps/Permissions] > in here you can toggle on or off the assets you want your clients to be able to see inside their client portal

To make sure your communities are only accessed by the members you have granted access to, please log into to your Community Group > click [Settings] > under the [Details] tab, scroll down to the bottom > make sure 'Private' is clicked and 'Accessible from Switcher' is toggled OFF > click [Save]
​

There are several areas you can manage your community notifications:

1. For chat features: Inside your Community, go to [Profile] in the top right, then [Account Settings], where you'll find a toggle to turn the chat feature on/off.

2. For email notifications about new comments or tags: From your dashboard go to [Courses] > [Client Portal] > [Settings] > [Email Settings] > [Communities] tab, untick the email notifications you want to turn off and click save.

3. For app notifications: Download the LeadConnector app and use your phone settings to turn notifications on/off for this app.

You can easily view who is attending your community events by referring to our Community Calendar Events guide.

You can schedule events and sessions within your Ivorey communities. You can use the "Events" tab to schedule and manage sessions, including masterclasses, Q&As, and workshops. To host a session, you would create an event, add a meeting link to link out too your Zoom Room or Google Meet URL, and set it to repeat or schedule it for a specific date and time. Additionally, you can add reminders to notify your members before the event begins.

If you don't want to send people to your sales or opt-in funnel to purchase or sign up to your community, you can directly invited them by sharing your 'group link' with them. They'll be able to see some basic info about your group, then subscribe and pay. If your group is free, they wont need to pay anything - but both options still require them to create their own account. Once they do this, they will have access the community and also be saved as a new contact inside of Ivorey™

To find the direct link for your group, login to the community and click on the [Invite Members] button > under the [Share your group link] field click on the [Copy] button to copy your group link.
​
You can also invite members individually by adding their Name and Email in the fields shown below.

​NOTE: You can only invite someone once, so make sure you have your client portal URL set and your automated emails in place before inviting anyone to your community so all links are up to date and will direct them correctly.
