Open Social allows your people to collaborate, organise and find the right talent at the right moment. Open Social is especially suitable for volunteer communities within NGO organisations.
Activity streams
The activity stream is the personalized overview of your community
Algorithms show only the updates that are relevant to you. For example; when someone likes your post or comments in a group you are following, this will show up on your timeline.
The personalized activity stream is central to all the interactions of community members. A lively and engaging timeline will make your members coming back for more.
Notifications
Notifications keep you updated, but only when you need to be
The activity centre shows you all the incoming notifications. Your profile page contains specific settings where you personalize notifications you want to receive.
Smart push notifications keep you updated in the application and by email. You can be very specific what kind of notifications are relevant to you. That way you don’t get spammed by unnecessary messages. Nobody needs more distractions!
Events
Events connect your online and offline experience
Your community members have the ability to enroll to private and public events. Event managers set locations and dates and control the visibility settings. You can follow events and post comments to get the discussion going.
