Circle
Social MediaRun your Circle community from your flows. Agents create and update members from CRM or checkout events, cross-post announcements into spaces, apply member tags for segmentation, send invitations, publish events, and revoke access when subscriptions lapse.
What This Integration Enables
A paid community is an access-control problem wearing a social interface. Who gets in, which spaces they see, and when access ends are all downstream of systems Circle cannot see: billing, CRM, course platforms. This connector gives FlowRunner agents the admin keys: they create and update members from checkout and CRM events, apply and remove member tags for segmentation, cross-post announcements and publish events into spaces, send invitations, and revoke access when a person actually leaves. The operating principle: joining should be instant and leaving should be deliberate. Agents handle the instant half without help; the deliberate half gets a human. - Onboard paying customers as members the minute payment clears - Tag members into plan tiers and behavioral segments automatically - Cross-post announcements into spaces with HTML formatting - Publish events with ISO 8601 schedules and pull RSVP details outward - Queue lapse-driven offboarding for human review before access is revoked

Use Case Scenarios
Checkout to community in one motion
A payment confirms in [Stripe](/integrations/stripe). The agent calls Create Community Member with the customer's email and display name, letting Circle's invitation email deliver the onboarding link, then Tag Member with the tier tag resolved from List Member Tags. The customer posts their introduction the same afternoon they paid, and the community manager never touches a spreadsheet of pending adds.
The announcement that reaches everywhere
Product marketing finalizes a launch note. The agent resolves the announcements space with List Spaces, calls Create Post with the HTML body as a draft, and pings the community manager to review before publishing. Once live, the post URL fans out: [Gmail](/integrations/gmail) for the email list, [Slack](/integrations/slack) for the internal team. Comments accumulating on the post get pulled by List Comments into the feedback digest, so the community's reaction reaches the people who shipped the thing.
Events synced out, RSVPs synced in
The team schedules a monthly workshop with Create Event in the events space, ISO 8601 timestamps and location set. The agent emails members the RSVP link and logs the event to [Google Sheets](/integrations/google-sheets). As the date approaches, Get Event pulls attendee counts into the prep channel, so the host knows whether to book the big Zoom or the small one. After the event, attendance data joins the engagement picture that drives tag-based segmentation.
Human-in-Loop Highlight
Delete Community Member is permanent: it revokes all access and cannot be undone, and in a community the record it destroys is not just an account but a person's post history, course progress, and standing. The tempting automation is wiring it straight to billing, subscription lapsed, member deleted, and that automation deletes a founding member the week their corporate card rotates. So FlowRunner offboarding flows stage every deletion. The agent assembles the docket from Get Community Member and the billing context: "Subscription lapsed 14 days ago, two payment retries failed, member since 2024, 212 posts, moderator of the Founders space. Revoke?" The community manager decides, and often the answer is a dunning email instead of a deletion. Access ends when a person confirms the relationship has, not when a card expires.
