Municipal social media management

Your town has a story.
Municipal social media that tells it.

Turn local information into useful social updates, with assisted drafting, a shared calendar, and your team’s approval at the center.

One place to see the week

Less searching.
A clearer view of what’s next.

Events, posts, and municipal reminders share a calendar, so staff can see the plan together.

01

Start with local facts.

Confirmed event details, service notices, and official information give a useful post its starting point.

02

Make it sound like your town.

Use an assisted draft, choose an appropriate image, and edit the wording before it goes to review.

03

Your team gives the go-ahead.

Roles decide who can do what, and the rule is enforced on the server rather than by hiding a button. A Creator drafts, edits and uploads. An Approver does all of that and approves, rejects and unlocks. An Administrator adds settings, team and exports. Nobody publishes by hand in the ordinary flow: once approved, the post is locked and the publisher sends it at its scheduled time. Changing approved wording means an Approver unlocks it first, which removes the approval and sends it back for review. How your data is held →

Your community, in the picture

Familiar places.
A library you can find them in.

Keep local photographs and reusable imagery together. Browse by department or source, then choose the image that belongs with the message.

  • Upload photographs and short videos through the mobile-web Studio.
  • Find media by image, tag, or department.
  • Review the photograph and the words before approval.

Community Inbox

One queue.
One person who owns it.

When a resident asks about the leaf schedule under a post, the question should not depend on whoever happens to open Facebook that afternoon. The Inbox gives a comment an owner, a state, and a reply somebody approved.

  • Assign a conversation to a named member of your team, chosen from your own roster.
  • Mark it resolved when it is finished — and that is a separate fact from whether a reply was sent, because a clerk who phones the resident back has resolved it without replying.
  • Saved replies for the answers you type every week. Your wording, inserted into the draft, still edited and approved by a person.
  • Replying publicly in the village’s voice needs approval authority. Every triage, assignment and reply is written to the activity trail.

An approved reply is not a sent reply, and the screen says so. It reads “Approved — not sent yet” until a live channel carries it. Nothing reads comments from a platform into Municiply today, so the queue starts empty rather than full: it fills when a channel is connected live and the platform grants permission to read comments on your own posts.

When the day changes

Village Hall closes at noon.
The parade post does not go out at one.

Snow closes the building on a Tuesday. Three cheerful posts are scheduled for that afternoon, written a fortnight ago. You need both halves: stop those, and tell people about the closure.

  • Pause routine publishing with a reason. Scheduled posts stop going out on their own — enforced inside the publishing job, not just drawn on the screen — and the paused state shows on every page so the next person in cannot miss it.
  • Send the closure anyway. An urgent notice from an Approver publishes immediately while the pause stays on. Pausing the calendar never gags the village.
  • Decide about the backlog when you resume. Send everything that came due back for review, or let the queue carry on. You choose at that moment; Municiply will not choose for you.
  • Who paused, why, who sent the notice and who resumed is all recorded.

Pausing and resuming need approval authority. Delivery of the notice still depends on a connected channel, and this is not a substitute for your official emergency alerting.

Designed to give time back

A month of possibilities.
Still your decisions.

A member of staff prepares the month when they choose to. Municiply does not do it on a timer.

In the current workflow

Prepare a month is built and staff-triggered: pick the month, see a preview of what would be created and what was refused for want of a confirmed fact, then create the drafts. Nothing is scheduled or published by that step — every draft still goes through review. Alongside it: assisted drafting, event promotion drafts, a review queue, a shared calendar and a media library.

Not built

Preparation that runs on its own each month, without somebody starting it, and synchronisation with an external calendar such as Google Calendar. Neither exists today. Publishing, replies and engagement reporting each depend on a channel being connected live.

Channel demonstrations are illustrative. Confirm the supported accounts and live publishing status for your municipality during a demo.

Questions, answered

A few things
worth knowing.

Does anything publish without our approval?

The review workflow puts authorized staff in control. Staff checks local facts and wording before approving a post, and verifies its publishing status afterward.

Can we use our own photos and voice?

Yes. Your own media and local details belong in the workflow. Assisted copy is a starting point your staff can edit, rather than a substitute for knowing your community.

Do Facebook, Instagram, Google, and Nextdoor all work the same way?

Each channel needs its own supported connection and setup. A visual demonstration does not mean that every channel is live for every account. We will confirm availability with you.

Do we have to replace our website?

The social workflow is separate from your municipal website. Virtual Agent is an optional website addition, with its own installation and source setup.

Afterwards

And at the end of the month,
a report you can hand over.

The work you approved becomes a monthly view your mayor and board can read — what went out, how far it travelled where a channel supplies that, and what residents kept asking about.

Bring one event, one recurring question, or one busy week. We’ll start there.
