Build custom workflows for your alumni community
Triggers, conditions, actions. No code. Notify batchmates when a new alumni joins, kick off a thank-you email after a donation, post event RSVPs to Slack — anything you can imagine, automated.
How it works
Three building blocks. Combine them however your team needs — from a one-step welcome email to a multi-branch donor journey.
Trigger
Something happens in your platform. New signup, donation, event RSVP, profile update, anniversary, anything.
Conditions
Optionally filter the trigger. Same batch year only. Donors above $500. Members of a specific chapter.
Actions
Send an email, push a Slack message, create a task, fire a webhook, or chain into another workflow.
Examples

Actions
Actions you can take
Send a message, update a record, or branch into another workflow. Mix and match across channels — your users see one cohesive experience.
Every action can pass data to the next step — fully typed, fully auditable.
