Digital Engagement

When you create a Directory (for example our Authors List or our Alum Spotlight section) and map a user, currently that information, if displayed, is not clickable. We would like mapped names in Directories to bring the viewer directly to that person's profile when clicked on. The scenario is that I am an alum in the Authors list for example, and I've just seen a book that look interesting by another alum listed. Would love to reach out to that person. If I click on that person's name, I should be taken to their profile, assuming I match the criteria for viewing the profile of course. Then if that person has claimed their profile, I can interact with them through the messaging button for example, or see more information on them, vs having to search for them in the directory etc etc. Just make it easier for alums to connect with one another instead of keeping these "modules' separate.

We have a Space that highlights great things our alums are doing. We would like to sync that back to NXT as part of the alum profile. Currently we can export from Engagement studio that an alum was tagged in a post, but the actual post does not come along with the export. What we want to do is to have the post either within the Almabase profile such that it could be synced as a note to NXT and/or in some way have the post easily exportable for upload to NXT as a note. In this way, we don't "Lose" this rich information about an alum and when an advancement professional is reviewing a particular alum, they have that data right in front of them. Otherwise, this data is gone. We won't remember 2 weeks from now that "Pamela Silver was appointed to the National Academy of Sciences" blah blah blah. That's a really big deal and we don't want to have to manually copy and paste every post. At this point, we have to copy and paste from the Space post to a column in a spreadsheet to the correct row for that alum - we export the alum name, system id, and constituent id from engagement studio to create the spreadsheet. The spreadsheet data with the note is then uploaded to NXT. (Note: this is what my success manager has said to do. We have not been able to try it yet.) We would do this monthly.
