Foundation module

Directory

The system of record for every alumni community

Auto-syncs with LinkedIn, Facebook and Google. Integrates with your school's SIS. Self-updating profiles mean your team stops chasing data, and the records get more accurate every month, not less.

Included in every plan — Starter ($199/mo), Lite, Growth, and Pro.

The problem

Half your alumni records are wrong the day they graduate. The other half are wrong within two years.

33 %

of Kolbe Catholic College's past students responded within three weeks of their first Alumnly email invite. Self-service profiles, no chasing.

Most schools rely on disconnected databases, fragmented tools, and outdated records. Spreadsheets that haven't been touched since 2019. Facebook groups with three admins and no central source of truth. Email lists that bounce thirty percent of the time.

When you can't find them, you can't reach them. When you can't reach them, the relationship dies in silence.

Time saved with Directory

Profiles that maintain themselves. Versus a spreadsheet that's wrong by Friday.

Alumni sign in with LinkedIn, Facebook or Google and their own records populate and keep updating. Merge duplicates in two clicks. Save any filtered search as a reusable list. Your team stops being data-entry clerks and starts running outreach.

What's in the Directory module

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Profiles that fill themselves in, then keep themselves current

Alumni sign in with LinkedIn, Facebook or Google and their profile populates automatically. When they change jobs or move cities, you have their updated records. Your team never types a profile again, and the Directory gets more accurate every month instead of decaying in a spreadsheet.

Rich alumni profiles, with private messaging and Follow

Every alum gets their own profile page: contact details, career history, achievements, mentoring offers, photos. Alumni follow each other and message privately, so it becomes a living social network the community wants to log into, not a static database only your team ever opens.

Find exactly the right alumni in seconds

Search and filter by year, profession, name, or the searchable "willing to help" field. Need alumni open to mentoring, guest speaking or careers advice for next term? Three keystrokes and you have the list, not an afternoon scrolling a spreadsheet.

Approvals your way: instant or reviewed

Auto-approve new registrations for a frictionless join, or queue them for manual review when you want them vetted. Set it per school and change it anytime. No inbox to babysit unless you want one.

Paid memberships, billed automatically

Charge alumni a membership fee for premium access, recurring or one-off, with Stripe handling every payment. A recurring revenue stream from the alumni community itself, with no invoicing for your team to chase.

Connects to the SIS you already run

Alumnly integrates with your existing Student Information System, so each year's new leavers flow into the Directory automatically. The database keeps growing without anyone re-keying a graduating cohort by hand.

Custom fields, saved lists, one-click merge, full export

Capture whatever matters to your school with custom fields. Save any filtered search as a reusable list that feeds every email and SMS campaign. Merge duplicate records in one click. Export every record to Excel whenever you like, because your data is yours and there is no lock-in.

Built for every role

Different views.
Same platform.

For the Alumni Manager

No more data entry. No more chasing email updates. The Directory maintains itself.

Monday morning. New registrations from the weekend. Eight profiles that auto-updated their employer from LinkedIn. Two duplicates flagged for merge. A custom field added for the Old Scholars dinner. Twelve minutes, done. Not twelve hours.

For the Principal

Real numbers, real confidence, the kind that holds up in a board meeting.

Four thousand two hundred alumni records, seventy-eight percent with verified contact details synced from social platforms, thirty-two percent engaged in the last six months. Exports to PDF for the board pack. "We grew verified-contact rate from forty-one percent to seventy-eight percent in one year" becomes a board headline.

For the Business Manager

One system of truth. One vendor. AWS-hosted, no lock-in, no hidden fees.

Three disconnected lists collapse into one. Three vendors collapse into one invoice. SIS integration means no double-entry with the main school system. Privacy posture centralised, compliance simplified, audit straightforward.

"Alumnly has marked a pivotal moment for Kolbe Catholic College. With the help of JWAM, Alumnly was set up very quickly. To our surprise, we were seeing results immediately. Within only three weeks of sending out email invites to many of our past students, almost thirty-three percent had responded."
