New tools for admins on Forum
Before we get to the new tools, let’s quickly cover what Forum is. It is a purpose-built app for people who want to go deeper into their Facebook groups and join the conversations that matter to them. Synced with your groups on Facebook, Forum brings them together in one place so you can see what’s new and jump into the conversations that matter.
Running a group takes real work: reviewing posts, answering questions, keeping conversations on track, and planning what comes next. To take on more off the task, Meta has recently introduced new tools for admins to manage and grow their communities.
Admin AI and Admin Assist
Admin AI is a group management tool built right into Forum that helps admins triage pending items, like member requests and pending posts, with suggestions for what to do next. It also highlights what’s working, what needs attention, and which topics members are discussing. In Forum, admin AI can now also draft posts for admins to review, edit, and publish whenever they’re ready.
Meta has also introduced a new way for admin AI to check pending posts against the group rules admins set. Each post gets a tag showing admins whether the post likely meets the group rules or may go against them, making it faster for admins to decide what to approve. Tags appear in the pending post queue and in admin AI.
Admin Assist in Forum is now more flexible too, giving admins more control over how they set up automated moderation. Build custom rules by combining multiple conditions, like post length, link usage, or prior moderation actions. Admins stay in control of what they allow in their group, and all posts are subject to Meta’s Community Standards.
Tailored Insights for Every Group Stage
Meta is also introducing insights built around where a group is in its journey, whether it’s brand new, growing, or well established. These insights will highlight what admins should take action on next, so they know where to focus as their groups now. You can find these insights displayed in your group and Admin Home on Forum.
Tools Built for Admin teams
Now, within Admin Home, admins will get regular updates on what’s new in Groups. They can learn more about recently launched features and the latest updates all in one place. Admins and their team of moderators can work from one calendar on Forum that shows posts their team has scheduled, so no one is duplicating effort or missing things in between.
Admins can use admin AI to help draft and schedule up to 5 posts in one go, saving time and keeping the conversation going in their group. When a member’s reply deserves attention, admins can pin a comment- an answer, a correction, a clarification- right where members will see it.
The Forum app is available to download in the US on iOS and Android. Just log in with your Facebook account to find your groups and discover new ones.
