Skool Plugins and Integrations: Every One Explained

Skool integrations live in one place: the Plugins tab in your group's settings. Skool's help centre lists 11 plugins there, from membership questions to Zapier and a webhook, plus separate guides for a Meta pixel and a Hyros plugin. This guide explains every Skool plugin, which plan each one needs, and what other apps connect to Skool. Every fact was checked on Skool's help centre on 18 October 2026.

Where do you find plugins in Skool?

Plugins sit in your group's settings. Skool's AutoDM article gives the path:

1. Click the SETTINGS button in your community.
2. Go to the Plugins tab.
3. Click EDIT next to the plugin you want, set it up, and switch it on.

Skool's cancellation video article gives a second way in: click your profile picture, then Settings, then the admin settings for your group, then the Plugins tab.

Which Skool plugins are on each plan?

Skool's guide on how to use plugins (last updated 29 August 2026) lists each plugin with its plan. Here they are in one table.

So on the Hobby plan, you get three plugins, all about who can join and who can post. Everything that sends messages, tracks ads or talks to other apps needs Pro. Our full list of Skool features shows what else changes between the plans.

Which plugins control who joins your group?

Membership questions

Skool's membership questions article says you can ask up to three questions. Each answer can be a text box, multiple choice or an email address, and only one question can ask for an email. People must answer every question before they can ask to join.

Skool's plugin guide suggests one question about who you want in the group, one asking for an email or social handle, and one asking where they found you. It also notes that harder questions mean fewer joins but better members.

Instant membership approval

This Pro plugin lets people in straight away. Skool suggests it if you run ads or a lead magnet to a free group, so people see what they came for without waiting. Skool's spam article gives the other side: if spam accounts start getting in, turn it off and approve members by hand.

Which plugins stop spam on Skool?

Two plugins slow down new accounts, and both work on Hobby and Pro:

• Unlock chat at any level. New members cannot message your members until they reach the level you set. Skool's spam article says you can pick Level 2 to 9, and that Level 9 basically turns chat off.
• Unlock posting at Level 2 or 3. New members must earn a few likes before they can post. Skool suggests it mainly for large groups.

Members earn points when others like their posts and comments. Level 2 takes 5 points and Level 3 takes 20, per Skool's points article. So these plugins ask new members to take part a little before they can post or send DMs.

AutoMod is not a plugin you switch on. Skool's spam article says it "is now active in all communities." It flags members Skool's system rates as high risk, and their posts, for an admin to review.

Which plugins welcome and keep members?

AutoDM

AutoDM sends one message to each new member. You can use #NAME# and #GROUPNAME# so it reads as personal, and pick which admin it comes from. Skool says the member gets it within 1 to 5 minutes of joining. If you already have a chat with that person, they do not get it. AutoDM is Pro only.

Onboarding video

A Pro plugin that welcomes new members with a video. Skool suggests a tour of your own group: where everything is, how to use the community, and a bit about the Classroom. You can upload your own video.

Cancellation video

A Pro plugin that shows a video to members while they cancel. Skool's cancellation video article says members see it on step two of cancelling. You can upload it to Skool or paste a link. Skool's tip is to keep it light and say what they would lose by leaving.

Links

A Pro plugin that adds up to 3 links to your group card, such as your support email or a shared doc. Skool says the links are private, so only members can see them.

Which plugins track ads on Skool?

Skool has three ad tracking plugins. All three track visits to your group's About page, the page people land on from an ad.

• Meta (Facebook) pixel. Tracks page views, membership requests and purchases, so you can run Facebook and Instagram ads and retarget About page visitors. Skool's Meta pixel article names no plan. It asks you to use one pixel ID only for your Skool group. Our Skool Meta pixel guide has the setup steps.
• Google Ads. Tracks page views and sign-ups from Google and YouTube ads. You need a Google Tag ID and a conversion label from your Google Ads account. Pro only.
• Hyros. Sends page views, membership requests (as leads) and paid joins (as orders) to Hyros. Skool's Hyros article says the plugin is "currently available only to the legacy admins," so a new group will not have it.

How do Zapier and webhooks connect Skool to other apps?

These are Skool's two real integrations. Both need Pro.

Zapier

Skool's Zapier article says the plugin gives you an API key to paste into Zapier. It lists four uses:

1. Send a new paid member's name and email to your CRM.
2. Send membership question answers to your CRM.
3. Invite someone to your group.
4. Unlock a course for a member.

Zapier's own Skool page shows ready-made links to tools like Stripe, ClickFunnels, Kit, Stan and Google Sheets. One warning from Skool: if you refresh your API key, every Zap you built breaks until you rebuild it with the new key. Our Skool Zapier guide walks through the setup.

Webhook

Skool calls the webhook a "developer-only feature." Its job is to invite members after they pay somewhere else, such as an outside checkout, by sending each one a unique email invite link. Skool's guide describes it for invites only.

What else works with Skool without a plugin?

• Video. Skool hosts video itself, and still takes links from YouTube, Vimeo, Loom and Wistia (help article 58).
• Video calls. Events default to Skool's own call, and you can pick Zoom or Google Meet instead (help article 146).
• Payments. Skool takes payments itself, so there is no payment plugin to set up. Payouts go to your bank every Wednesday (help article 86).

Searching Skool's help centre for "API" on 18 October 2026 returned only the Zapier articles. So there is no public API documented beyond the Zapier key. Our Skool API guide covers what that means for n8n and Make.

What can Skool plugins not do?

• No follow-up for failed payments. When a card fails, Skool retries it and shows the member a prompt to update their card. You can see the declined invoice and retry it by hand (help article 234). There is no plugin to send your own message to that member.
• No message after someone cancels. The cancellation video plays while they cancel. Once they are gone, no plugin follows up.
• One welcome message, once. AutoDM sends a single message at join, and skips anyone you have already chatted with.
• No scheduled posts. No plugin lets you write a post now and publish it later.
• Little on Hobby. Hobby gets three plugins. Messaging, ad tracking and Zapier all need Pro at $99 a month.

Fill the gaps with Backpack

We build Backpack, so weigh this part with that in mind. Backpack is a Chrome extension plus our servers for Skool community owners. It covers the jobs Skool's plugins leave open:

• Payment Recovery messages a member when their card fails.
• Cancellation Recovery messages a member who cancels.
• Welcome Drip sends welcome messages to new members.
• Post Scheduler posts to your community at the time you pick.
• Claude or ChatGPT: connect your own AI assistant to your community.

You write the messages, and Backpack sends them. It runs on our servers, so it works with your computer off. It costs $9 a month for every feature and every Skool community you admin. Backpack is not affiliated with Skool. You can try Backpack free for 7 days.

The short version

Skool integrations are simple. On Hobby, you get three plugins that control joining, chat and posting. On Pro, you add AutoDM, onboarding and cancellation videos, Links, instant approval, Google Ads, Zapier and a webhook. Zapier is the main way to link Skool to other apps. For follow-ups after a failed card or a cancel, and for scheduled posts, you need a tool outside Skool.

FAQ

Does Skool have integrations?

Yes, but only a few. Skool's main integrations are the Zapier plugin and a webhook, and both need the Pro plan. Skool also has plugins for Google Ads and a Meta pixel, plus video links from YouTube, Vimeo, Loom and Wistia, and event links for Zoom and Google Meet. There is no public API documented beyond the Zapier key.

Is the Skool Zapier integration on the Hobby plan?

No. Skool's Zapier article says the feature is only on the Pro plan, not Hobby. Pro costs $99 a month. On Hobby you get just three plugins: membership questions, unlock chat at any level and unlock posting at Level 2 or 3. Everything else in the Plugins tab needs Pro.

Can you add a Facebook pixel to Skool?

Yes. Skool has a Meta (Facebook) pixel plugin that tracks About page views, membership requests and purchases. You can use it to run Facebook and Instagram ads and retarget visitors. Skool's help article does not say which plan it needs. Skool asks you to use one pixel ID only for your Skool group.

Does Skool have webhooks?

Yes, one. The Webhook plugin is a Pro feature that Skool calls developer-only. It invites members after they pay through an outside checkout, by sending each a unique email invite link. Skool's guide describes it for invites only. To send member data to other apps, Skool's guide uses the Zapier plugin.

How many membership questions can you ask on Skool?

Up to three. Each answer can be a text box, multiple choice or an email address, but only one question can ask for an email. People must answer all of them before they can ask to join. The membership questions plugin works on both the Hobby and Pro plans.

Can Skool send an automatic welcome message?

Yes, with AutoDM on the Pro plan. It sends one message within 1 to 5 minutes of a member joining, and can use the member's first name and your group name. It skips anyone who already has a chat with the sender. It sends one message only, not a series.
