Integrate with Your Student Information System (SIS) or Student Management System (SMS)

Overview

The Integrations module allows Alumnly to seamlessly connect with your Student Information System (SIS) or Student Management System (SMS). Once connected, Alumnly automatically syncs student and staff data — eliminating manual data management and ensuring your alumni community stays accurate and up to date.

With this integration:

  • Students are automatically invited to Alumnly when they are marked as past student / alumni
  • Staff records are synced and managed for administrator access
  • No manual imports or updates are required

Two Ways to Integrate

Alumnly supports two integration paths. The right choice depends on what your school already uses and what your IT team prefers.

Option 1: Via Wonde (preferred)

Wonde is a secure data-sharing platform used by thousands of schools to safely share information between their student management system and approved third-party applications. If your school already uses Wonde for other applications (assessment tools, communication apps, learning platforms), connecting Alumnly through Wonde is the fastest and cleanest path.

Why Wonde is our preferred integration:

  • 🔐 One governed connection — your IT team manages all third-party data sharing from a single place, with full audit visibility
  • 🌐 Broad SIS coverage — Wonde supports a wide range of student management systems used across Australian, New Zealand, and UK schools
  • 🎯 Field-level control — your school controls exactly which data fields are shared with Alumnly
  • Fast to set up — if Wonde is already in place, connecting Alumnly takes minutes

Option 2: Direct Integration

For schools that prefer a direct connection between Alumnly and their student management system, we support direct integration with:

  • Civica
  • Compass
  • Engage
  • Sentral
  • SIMS
  • Synergetic
  • TASS
  • Veracross
  • Many Others...

Direct integration suits schools that don't currently use Wonde, or whose IT policy prefers a point-to-point connection.

Key Benefits of Integration

  • 🔄 Fully Automated Sync – No manual alumni or staff data management
  • 🎓 Automatic Alumni Invitations – Students are invited as soon as they become alumni
  • 👩🏫 Staff Access Management – Staff roles and admin access are managed automatically
  • ⏱️ Time-Saving – Reduces administrative workload
  • 🔐 Secure & Reliable – Uses secure IDs and tokens for system access

School Admin: Setting Up an Integration

The setup process differs slightly depending on which path you choose.

Setting up via Wonde (preferred)

Step 1: Confirm your school is registered with Wonde. If not, your IT administrator can register your school at wonde.com/au.

Step 2: In Alumnly, log in as an Administrator and navigate to Site Settings > Integrations.

Step 3: Select the Wonde tab.

Step 4: Authorise Alumnly through your school's Wonde portal. Your IT administrator will approve the connection and confirm which data fields are shared with Alumnly.

Step 5: Once approved, the integration is active. Students marked as alumni in your SMS are automatically invited to join your alumni community.
