OpenApply for alumni events
OpenApply is pitching alumni management beyond spreadsheets — centralizing contacts, syncing event registrations, and improving data collection for off‑campus engagement. That kind of event sync could tighten logistics and reporting for regional chapters. (x.com)
OpenApply launched its dedicated Advancement module on May 4, 2023, positioning the feature set as a purpose-built toolset for alumni and development teams. (openapply.cn) The Advancement suite is sold as an optional add‑on and is described in product documentation as a collection of tools to “empower schools with robust and reliable data” for alumni, families and prospects. (help.openapply.com) The platform’s Alumni Dashboard organizes records by graduating Academic Year, lets admins send an Exit Questionnaire and recurring Alumni Information Update forms, and supports filtering by status, campus and custom tags. (help.openapply.com) OpenApply’s Events functionality supports creating event types, public display settings, and parent/applicant registration workflows, with support material and a recorded “Events Flexibility” webinar explaining how to schedule, reschedule and cancel registrations. (help.openapply.com) OpenApply advertises adoption by “over 800” independent and international schools and is integrated into the Faria Education Group product ecosystem used for school‑family experiences. (updates.openapply.com) Product update notes and the Advancement enhancements page specifically call out automated alumni record updates and branded event support as mechanics that can reduce manual reconciliation and improve campaign reporting. (openapply.com) OpenApply and Faria host on‑demand webinars (including a May 24, 2023 session on alumni engagement) and step‑by‑step Help Center articles that document using the Advancement tools for exit surveys, information updates and event workflows.
