Dig it. This is awesome. Simple and effective, and helps slack communities grow through referrals.
Ryan Hoover
Super smart. We've hacked together similar functionality using Zapier with Slack.
Boris Jabes
@rrhoover care to share any interested functionality in your setup?
Dylan Smith
@borisjabes @rrhoover I just put something together for this purpose as well. We use a landing page with an application form that creates a Trello card that triggers an IFTTT message in a private Slack channel. Though the invitation is still sent manually, our four admins can see the pending/approved/denied applications on the Trello board, which is handy.

@dylanatsmith @borisjabes @rrhoover Sounds like a pretty great workflow! Do you often have a lot of people in the pending queue? We had talked about adding an optional landing page sign up to Community Bot, but Slack history in Community Bot's channel might not be a good enough replace for your Trello board.
Dylan Smith
@sean_lynch @borisjabes @rrhoover Not too many in the queue, but we like to trickle new members in to keep the existing community engaged. Community Bot looks great but probably wouldn't work for a "waiting list" system.

Hi folks, I'm one of the people who made Community Bot and I'm happy to answer questions. As Sean pointed out, this is something that evolved out of our own community and we're curious to hear what other tricks and tools people use to manage large semi-open communities.
