One Email Platform for Every Department, Governed Centrally
Admissions, alumni relations, advancement, colleges, and research centers all send email. Interspire Email Marketer gives each team its own account on one self-hosted installation, while central IT or communications sets the rules.
Department independence. Central governance.
Let Departments Send Without Losing Oversight
Every team works on its own while central IT or communications keeps control.
- Accounts per unit: departments, faculties, campuses, and colleges each manage their own lists, campaigns, and reports
- Permissions by group: control who can import contacts, edit templates, send, or change settings
- Sending rules by unit: hourly, monthly, or total limits per user, and separate SMTP where a unit needs its own sending domain
How Governance Works
Central administrators set the boundaries; departments work freely inside them.
- Access that follows staffing: add accounts as teams hire, and restrict or remove them when staff, student workers, or contractors move on
- Consistent branding: publish approved templates centrally and make them available to the departments that should use them
- One view of the platform: administrators manage users, permissions, sending settings, and limits across every unit from one place
- Secure logins: two-factor authentication for departmental accounts
Reach Several Audiences in One Send
Institution-wide messages go out once, not once per department.
- Multi-list sends: send one campaign to alumni, current students, and faculty and staff lists together, with duplicates removed
- Forms and surveys: embedded forms with Turnstile bot protection for inquiries and events, plus event and unsubscribe surveys
- Privacy controls: double opt-in, suppression, a tracking preference link, and encrypted custom fields for student or donor IDs
One Platform Instead of Many Subscriptions
Replace department-by-department email tools with one installation. There are no per-contact or per-email charges, so applicant and alumni records kept for years don’t raise the bill. Your SIS, alumni database, or CRM stays the source of truth, and the platform runs in an environment your institution already approves.
Common Questions
Shared platform or separate installs per campus?
Most universities start with one shared installation and separate departmental accounts. A campus or college that needs its own environment can have a separately licensed installation.
Do you support single sign-on?
No. Interspire does not support SSO, including SAML. Accounts are managed centrally in Interspire, and departmental accounts can use two-factor authentication.
Does it connect to our SIS, alumni database, or CRM?
Connections are assessed per project and are not included in a standard license.
Does self-hosting make us compliant?
No. Self-hosting does not by itself satisfy any regulatory, privacy, accessibility, or security requirement. Your institution remains responsible for configuration, policies, content, infrastructure, and legal obligations.
