You open eight browser tabs before coffee — Eventbrite, Mailchimp, Excel, Facebook, the CMS, PayPal, Outlook. Half your week is administration; the other half is apologising for it. The actual job — building relationships, telling the school’s story, connecting alumni to each other and to the school’s future — sits underneath all of it, waiting for a moment that never quite arrives.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly auto-digests. Smart-send only fires when there’s something to share.
Duplicate last year’s reunion or Speech Night in one click. Stripe handles the rest.
Analytics surfaces specific actions: “The Class of 2010 hasn’t been emailed in three months.”
Alumni sign in with LinkedIn, Facebook or Google; careers, locations and photos sync automatically.
Engagement Score, year-group breakdowns and donor pipeline — all PDF-exportable.
AI flags inappropriate content before it reaches the community. You moderate flags, not every message.
Engagement Score 72, up from 68. AI suggests (coming soon!) a regional event for your Sydney cohort — you add it to next week.
Three profiles auto-updated from LinkedIn; two duplicates flagged for one-click merge. Eight minutes, not eight hours.
The Director asks for a scholarship-appeal page. Hero copy, fundraising widget, video, form — live at /scholarship-2026.
The monthly Snapshot has compiled four news posts, three events, two albums and a fundraising milestone. Smart-send confirms; you send.
Coffee with the major donor whose family endowed the new wing — because the platform isn’t demanding your morning.
Two AI-flagged weekend messages: one removed, one approved. Total weekend moderation: 90 seconds.
