Meetup group import is currently available to early access users only. If you don’t see the import option, your account may not yet have access.
The Meetup import wizard creates a new WR-Games group from your existing Meetup group — bringing your group details and event feed over automatically so you’re not starting from scratch.

​
Before You Start

  • You need an active Meetup account.
  • You must be an organizer of the Meetup group you’re importing.

​
Where to Find It

The import wizard is available from two places:
  • Create a Group page — look for the import banner above the new-group form.
  • Onboarding Wizard — the group setup step includes an option to import from Meetup.

​
How to Import

1

Open the import wizard

Start from either entry point above. The wizard opens as a modal.
2

Paste your Meetup group URL

Enter the URL of your Meetup group (e.g. meetup.com/your-group-name). WR-Games fetches your group details from Meetup and pre-fills the next step.
3

Review and adjust the details

Check the pre-filled information before creating the group:
  • Group name, city, and description — pulled from Meetup; edit freely.
  • Cover image — imported from your Meetup group; you can replace it after.
  • Event display mode — choose Side-by-side (native WR-Games RSVPs alongside Meetup attendance) or Link-out (RSVPs stay on Meetup). See Meetup Integration for a full breakdown.
  • Auto-assign me as host — optionally have yourself set as host on newly synced events automatically.
4

Create the group

Confirm and the group is created. Your Meetup events begin syncing automatically.

​
After the Import

  • Your new WR-Games group is live immediately.
  • Meetup events start syncing — mirrors appear within the first sync cycle (about 15 minutes).
  • Existing Meetup members are not automatically added. They’ll need to create a WR-Games account and join your group independently. Share your group invite link to get them in.

​
FAQ

Yes — each import creates a separate WR-Games group. Run the wizard once per Meetup group, subject to your plan’s group limit.
Import counts as creating a new group. If you’re at your plan’s limit, you’ll need to upgrade or remove an existing group first.
Import creates a brand-new WR-Games group from a Meetup group. Attach connects an existing WR-Games group to Meetup for ongoing sync. If your WR-Games group already exists, see Meetup Integration to attach it instead.
