Approvals for user generated content and bulk messages

Members can create Opportunities, Events, Groups, and messages in 360Alumni. Administrators can decide whether this user-generated content publishes immediately or requires approval first.

Encourage members to contribute

Remind members regularly that they can:

Post Opportunities for the community.
Organize their own meetups and reunions through Events.
Create and manage their own Groups.
Message other members directly.

Include these reminders in Email Marketing and other community communications. Clear, repeated guidance helps members use your alumni engagement CRM as an active community rather than only an alumni directory.

Turn on approval requirements

Set approval requirements for user-created Opportunities, Groups, Events, and messages.

Go to Admin > Customize > Features.
Enable approvals for the content types you want to review before publication or delivery.
Specify which administrators should receive notifications when new content needs approval.

Review pending approval requests

Go to Admin > Manage Community > Approval Requests.
Select the tab for the content type you want to review: Events, Opportunities, Messages, or Groups.
Apply filters as needed. Use the Approval filter to show only content that is Pending.
Review the content.
To approve or decline one item, open the row's more options (⋮) menu and select the appropriate action.
To approve or decline multiple items, select their rows, then use the more options menu (⋮) at the top of the table.

The content creator is notified whenever you approve or decline their submission.

What happens after approval

Events

Approved Events appear on the Events page for all users unless the creator did not select Promote on Events Page.

You can also notify the community. Event notifications are sent to users who subscribe to Events that match their location and event-type preferences.

Opportunities

Approved Opportunities appear on the Opportunities page for all users.

You can also notify the community. Opportunity notifications are sent to users who subscribe to Opportunities that match their location preferences. This keeps your alumni job board notifications relevant to each member of your community.

Groups

Approved Groups appear on the Groups page for all users, unless the Group's visibility is Private.

Messages

When you approve a message, it is released to the recipients' Messages Center. Recipients who are subscribed to Direct Message Email Notifications also receive a notification.
