Introduction to Groupable|Connect

What is Groupable|Connect?

Groupable|Connect is your group’s (the parent organization that oversees all locals – for example, a state-level body or national association) online home for members. It is a members-only website where you can:

• Read news posts and announcements from your local (the individual unit within your organization, such as a lodge, chapter, or local committee) and your group
• View upcoming events and RSVP
• Browse photos from meetings and events
• Download files and documents your local has shared
• See who your local’s officers are
• View your own membership record, dues owed, and payment history
• Make a dues payment or donation online, if your group offers online payments

Connect vs. Groupable|m2

Groupable|m2 is where officers and staff manage membership records, financials, and administrative tasks.

Groupable|Connect is the members-facing side of that same information — where members go to stay informed and see their own membership details.

Think of Groupable|m2 as the “back office” and Connect as the front door members walk through.

Who Can Use Connect?

• Anyone can view a local’s public pages, such as news, events, and photos, without logging in, if your webmaster (the person responsible for administering your group’s Connect site) has made those pages public.
• Logged-in members can also see their own membership details, make payments, RSVP to events, and comment on posts (comments require your name to be visible in Connect — see your privacy settings on the My Profile page).
• Webmasters can additionally create posts, manage pages, and reach the admin dashboard for a group.

How to Access Connect

From a Computer:

1. Go to your local’s or group’s website address (provided by your secretary or webmaster).
2. If you are not already logged in, click Sign In / Create Account.
3. Enter your username and password.

From a Mobile Device:

1. Open your mobile web browser.
2. Go to your local’s or group’s website address.
3. Tap Sign In / Create Account, or browse the public pages without logging in.
4. The site automatically adjusts to fit your phone or tablet screen.

Add to your home screen: On many mobile devices, you can add Connect to your home screen so it opens like an app. Look for an “Add to Home Screen” prompt or option in your browser’s menu.

What You’ll Need

• Your username (usually your email address)
• Your password (set when your account was created)
• A computer, tablet, or smartphone with internet access
