What it does

For communities that onboard members in cohorts (courses, accelerators, membership tiers), this workflow spins up a dedicated private space for each new group. It reads the roster, creates a fresh channel scoped to that cohort's role, sets permission overwrites so only members and staff can see it, and drops a kickoff message with the schedule.

When to use it

Use it when you launch recurring batches of members and manually creating and locking down a channel each time is tedious and error-prone. It guarantees every cohort starts in a clean, correctly-permissioned room.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled trigger fires at the start of each onboarding cycle.
  2. 2An Airtable step fetches the next cohort's name, role ID, and member list.
  3. 3A logic step checks whether a channel for that cohort already exists to avoid duplicates.
  4. 4The bot creates the private channel and applies permission overwrites granting only the cohort role access.
  5. 5It posts a kickoff message and writes the new channel ID back to Airtable.
