Group Funnel
A high-converting 2-page funnel optimized for driving signups into a community group. Works with any platform: Skool, Whop, Facebook Groups, Discord, Circle, Mighty Networks, or any community URL.
Trigger keywords: If the user mentions "Skool", "Whop", "Facebook group", "community group", "Discord server", "Circle community", "membership group", "free group", or "paid group" — this is the funnel to use.
