What CivicOps is
CivicOps is a web workspace for local government that combines public meeting management, social media publishing and archiving, and resident newsletters. Meeting tools cover agenda intake, ordered approvals, versioned packet PDFs, meeting-day motions and votes, public archives, and minutes exports in Word or PDF. Recordings up to 500 MB can be uploaded for transcription processing. Meeting AI is optional, and an authorized human must review proposed minutes and motions before they enter the official record. Social tools support official account connections, image posts, review, previews, and immediate or scheduled publishing; available networks depend on provider APIs and municipal account configuration. Newsletter features include branded templates, consent-aware signup forms, scheduled approved sends, and archives with delivery evidence. Archives and signup forms can be linked or embedded on existing websites. CivicOps says it operates from the United States and is not offered for data that must remain outside the country.
