Updating all groups with a batch.

We would like to create a batch auto action that updates all groups in groupjive with their current details. We created a similar auto action for users by adding 1 to hits for all users. How can we do this for groups?

Batch Actions process users through actions. There's no functionality to process groups through actions. What exactly are you needing to update? It might be best to just directly do that against the database either in a Query action or in phpmyadmin directly.

Basically we want to fire a group updated event so that the auto action that syncs groups with Firebase goes off for each and every group. This will bring our Firebase data up to date.

You want to send data to Firebase about every group when a single group is updated? I don't recommend doing that. Instead I suggest sending data about the group that was updated only, which is easily done with existing GJ triggers. Aside from that what you're asking for does not exist so you will have to code that yourself.

We have an update for each group that works well on GroupJive triggers, the problem is that we would have to update each and every group that was created before the auto action 1 at a time so that the group is in Firebase. i.e. right now all the groups in Firebase are groups that were sent to Firebase by the auto action so the 500 + groups that predate the auto action need to be sent to Firebase. Hence the request for a batch function so we can fire an onAfterGroupUpdate event and sync all the groups so they are available in the app.

We have no such batch function. There are no plans for such functionality at this time. You'd need to implement that yourself. I suppose you could also use the batch tools in CB GroupJive > Groups, but you'll have to apply some sort of change otherwise the tool won't loop through the groups storage behavior.
