Inherited pricing

This capability inherits the Community Manager's pricing model. The role's launch fee + monthly retainer + role-level usage cover every capability under the role. Adding this capability to an active deployment does not change the price.

What this capability handles

How it works in detail.

Community Engagement keeps the community active instead of quiet. When a manager is buried in moderation and incidents, scheduled prompts, announcements, and weekly threads are the first thing to slip, and a forum that goes silent loses the habit that keeps members coming back. This capability holds the engagement cadence across platforms, so the rhythm members expect stays in place even on the busiest weeks. It is built for community, gaming, marketplace, SaaS, subscription, and eCommerce teams at 100 to 1000 employees that want to build culture, not just police it. The outcome is a consistent engagement schedule kept across every connected surface, in your voice. Operationally it follows a set flow: read, compose, format, post, log. It reads the engagement calendar, composes the scheduled item (a prompt, announcement, weekly thread, or response follow-up), formats it for the target platform, posts it on schedule, and logs the activity. It runs in your community platform, chat platform, and content library, with messaging for coordination. It works from calendar entries, brand-tone rules, prior engagement performance, and audience segments, so each post matches both your voice and what has worked before. Per item it produces one scheduled, platform-formatted post published on cadence with a logged record. The decision logic uses the engagement calendar, brand-tone rules, and platform-format logic to compose, schedule, or route to the manager on sensitive audiences. Higher-stakes content stays under human control: sensitive-audience posts, brand-critical announcements, and tone-ambiguous drafts route to the manager for review before they go out. Handoff conditions are explicit: a sensitive-audience flag, a brand-critical announcement, or tone ambiguity. Every composed and posted item is logged and reviewable, so the published record can be checked and traced at any time. This fits teams with an approved calendar library, documented brand-tone rules, and mapped platform formats. Community Engagement accounts for 15-20% of role volume and 15-25% of role impact through engagement cadence held across platforms, with the target being posts going out on schedule across every platform.

When this capability shows up

Real-shape scenarios.

Patterns where community engagement is part of the launch set, with volume and pricing anchored to each company profile.

  • Marketplace with forum, chat, and scheduled engagement across platforms

    Marketplaces · 300-800

    7,000 / mo

    A 500-person marketplace runs 7000 community engagements a month across Discourse forums, Discord chat, and Circle member spaces. Moderation coverage is uneven. Escalations lag. Engagement cadence slips when the manager is heads-down.

    Community Manager activates all three capabilities. Moderation runs across platforms; escalations route in minutes; scheduled engagement ships on cadence with brand-tone and format discipline.

    Expected outcomes: moderation coverage 95%, escalation time under 10 minutes, engagement cadence on schedule, community-health signals visible weekly.

    SaaS · 20-80

    1,200 / mo

    A 40-person creator platform runs 1200 community engagements a month on a single Discourse forum. Moderation coverage drops after hours. Scheduled prompts and release threads slip when the manager is heads-down on roadmap work.

    Community Manager activates post moderation and community engagement. Moderation runs 24/7 with guideline citations; scheduled prompts and threads ship on calendar with brand-tone discipline.

    Expected outcomes at this volume: moderation coverage above 95%, engagement cadence on schedule, manager hours recovered weekly.

    12,000 / mo

    A 600-person B2B SaaS company runs 12000 community engagements a month across a Circle customer community, Slack customer channels and a public Discourse forum. Sensitive product-incident threads break overnight. Weekly engagement rhythm slips. Managers context-switch across surfaces.

    Community Manager activates all three capabilities. Moderation runs across platforms with guideline citations; sensitive cases route to the on-call manager in minutes; weekly engagement rhythm ships on calendar against brand-tone rules.

    Expected outcomes: moderation coverage above 95%, escalation time under 10 minutes on sensitive cases, engagement cadence held across surfaces.
