Engagement module · Starter plan and up

News

Write it once, and it publishes itself everywhere

The school's editorial channel to the alumni community. One article becomes a website post, an embed on your main site, a card in the next snapshot email, and a story on the mobile app, from a single entry, with no copy-paste.

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

The problem

Your alumni only hear from the school when the school wants something. That is the whole problem.

33 %

One article, published to four channels automatically. The school's news writes its own distribution, so a continuous editorial presence costs your team minutes, not hours.

Between the annual reunion and the December appeal, most schools go silent. When the only contact an alum gets is a request, the relationship feels transactional, and the fundraising ask lands cold. Meanwhile the good news your school makes every week, the achievements, the appointments, the milestones, never reaches the people who would love to hear it.

News is the connective tissue between the big moments. It turns the school into a present, generous voice, so that when a campaign does launch, it feels like a note from a friend, not a cold ask from a stranger.

4× the work, copied everywhere
Time saved with News

Write it once. Published in four places. Versus copy-paste across every channel.

Post a story and it lands on your alumni site, the next snapshot email, the mobile app, and an embed on your school's main website. Schedule ahead or publish live. The school's news writes its own distribution.

What's in the News module

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Write it once, and Alumnly distributes it for you

Load an article from a streamlined template in minutes, and the same story automatically appears on your alumni site, in the next snapshot email, on the mobile app browse view, and on the embed widget on your main school website. No copy-paste, no re-entering the same post into a second system. One workflow does the work of four.

Schedule ahead or post live

Draft an article, schedule it for next Tuesday at 9am, and save. Or publish immediately when news breaks. You get proper editorial-calendar control without a separate planning spreadsheet.

Alumni submit their own news

Past students can submit their own achievements, business launches and life updates, so the feed fills itself with community stories. Set moderation to manual when you want oversight, or automatic when you trust the flow.

Hero images and rich formatting

Every article supports a hero image, formatted body copy, embedded photos and links. Your editorial story shows up looking like a proper publication, not a plain text notice.

Comments, likes, and shares

Alumni react to posts, reply in comment threads, and share stories to their own social channels. News becomes a conversation the community joins in on, and each share carries your school's name into new networks for free.

Built for every role

Different views.
Same platform.

For the Alumni Manager

One CMS entry. Five distribution channels. Zero double-handling.

Write the article on Monday morning. Add a category. Pick a hero image from the photo library. Schedule for Tuesday at 8am. Save. The platform handles distribution to the website, the mobile app, the snapshot email queue, and the embed widget on the main school site. Total time: twelve minutes.

For the Principal

A continuous editorial presence with the alumni community, not just an annual newsletter.

The school stops being a once-a-year voice and becomes a present, generous one. When campaigns launch six months later, the community already feels connected, not solicited cold.

For the Business Manager

No third-party CMS. No separate newsletter tool. No paid distribution.

News, newsletters and website embeds all live in one platform with one invoice. Replaces Mailchimp and a separate CMS plug-in, and the integrated workflow is faster than either of them individually.

Alumnly plans

News is included from Starter, in every plan.

News is a foundation content module, included from the entry Starter tier upward alongside the Directory and Photos. The moment your alumni site is live, you have a channel to keep the community warm between events, at no extra cost as you grow.
