You can just put this function in your config and you should achieve this.
@hook.subscribe.client_new
def follow_window(client):
for group in groups:
match = next((m for m in group.matches if m.compare(client)), None)
if match:
targetgroup = qtile.groups_map[group.name]
targetgroup.cmd_toscreen(toggle=False)
break
