New Workflow Action for "Group Add"

New Workflow Action for "Group Add"

Workflow

We have a workflow that allows someone to sign up to "host a group". If someone or a couple of people want to host a group through the current church study without committing to the full weight of being a "life group", they can fill out this form to sign up to be a "host group". Because there's no workflow action to create a group, I have to use SQL to create a group automatically. I know inserting into the database with SQL is outside the castle walls, and I'd love to have an action for this so I can "safely" create a group in a workflow. The other driving reason is that whenever a new host group is added, I want to notify our life group admin assistant. However, the "Post-Add" trigger doesn't actually get triggered when a group is added directly via SQL.
