Adding a user to Community is completely identical and follows the rules of adding a user to a group.&#x20;

Due to WhatsApp's anti-spam policy, some contacts are not automatically added to the group. [Read more here](https://support.whapi.cloud/help-desk/groups/add-new-member-to-group#adding-a-member-to-a-group-failed)

To remove a participant from the community, use the “Remove participants from community” endpoint:
