You can specify one or more conditions for matching the list to the new user(based on profile field data or member type or role). Users from all the matching lists will be added as a friend to the new user.

The plugin can also be used to automate connection(Friendship/Follow/Following) on various group action(user joining group, leaving group or being removed from group).
