The village clerk is already
the communications department.
Nobody gave you the title. The posting still has to happen, between the counter, the phone and the board packet. Municiply is built for that reality rather than for a department that does not exist.
The writing was never
the hard part.
The hard part is remembering the event is Saturday, finding a photograph, writing it four different ways, posting it in four different places, and then answering the same three questions in the comments.
- Your events calendar is already the schedule.
- One draft is prepared for every channel.
- You approve. Then it goes.
A sitting.
Not an evening.
It starts from what you already keep.
The event is on the village calendar because somebody put it there. That entry becomes a draft, with your photograph, before you open anything.
You read it and decide.
Approve it, edit it, or send it back. The draft waits. Nothing moves to a public channel on its own.
One approval, every channel you have connected.
Facebook publishes from the post you just approved. Instagram, Google Business Profile and Nextdoor are on the roadmap and are not connected yet — see what is available today.
The same three questions.
Answered without you.
Garbage day. Permit forms. Hall hours. The Virtual Agent answers from sources your office confirms, and it hands anything it cannot answer back to the right office rather than guessing.
- You choose the sources it is allowed to use.
- You can change its answers and its tone.
- You can pause it.
- A question asked as a comment on a post is a different queue: it gets an owner, a state and a reply somebody approved. The Community Inbox →
What this does not do.
Said plainly.
- It is not a camera. Municiply does not send anyone to photograph or film an event. If that is part of what you buy today, you still need it.
- It writes from what you give it. A post needs a photograph and a fact, and both come from the village.
- It does not replace judgment. No post reaches a resident that a person did not approve. The Virtual Agent answers on its own, within the subjects and sources you set for it.
- When the day goes wrong — a closure, a cancellation — an Approver can pause routine publishing so nothing goes out on its own, and still send an urgent notice while the pause stays on. How the pause works →
