How to Use IdentityCheck with Google Groups

Using IdentityCheck with your Google Groups is easy once the integration is set up. Here’s a simple guide:

1. Member Verification: When a new member requests to join a Google Group, IdentityCheck can automatically initiate an ID verification process. The user will receive an email with verification instructions. Once verified, IdentityCheck updates the member’s status in Google Groups.
2. ID Verification for Messages: Ensure that only verified members can post messages in the group. IdentityCheck can trigger verification for new posts, allowing only those who pass the check to contribute.
3. Verification for Events: If your Google Group organizes events, use IdentityCheck to verify participants. Send out verification requests to attendees and update their status based on the verification outcome, ensuring that only verified individuals have access to events.
4. Automated Role Assignments: Set up workflows where IdentityCheck verifies users before they are granted certain roles within the group, such as moderators or admins, enhancing security.
