Circle
· #106 most-usedYour Circle community, run by an agent
Circle is the community platform where creators host discussions, courses, events, and member directories — all in one branded space. Connect it to Actionist and your agent can invite members, manage access groups, post content, send direct messages, and react to subscription events in real time. The result: a community that responds to its members 24 hours a day without you lifting a finger.
Eliminates manual work. Automating member onboarding, access group changes, and subscription-triggered messages eliminates the manual tab-switching and copy-pasting that community managers do dozens of times a day.
What your Circle agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Circle × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
New subscriber onboarded in 90 seconds
When a new subscription confirmation email lands in Gmail, your agent springs into action — it finds the member in Circle, adds them to the right access group, sends a personalised direct message with their top 3 recommended spaces, and drops a 30-minute orientation event on the calendar — then pings the CS team in Slack so they know a paying member just arrived. No tab-switching, no copy-pasting member IDs, no risk of missing the first crucial moment.

Pick the connection method that suits your environment.
The fastest path. Install the Circle MCP server and the agent connects to your community through a permissioned OAuth handshake — no API tokens to rotate, no credentials to paste.
Find Circle in the Apps library and click Connect. MCP is selected by default.
A Circle OAuth window opens — sign in with your Circle admin account, select the community you want to connect, and grant the requested permissions. The token is stored securely; you never handle it directly.
Actionist runs a read-only call to verify the handshake. You're ready.
