Only for Remind Hub administrators with ClassLink. If you are switching your current rostering method to ClassLink API or from ClassLink SFTP to ClassLink API, please contact your Customer Success Manager, or reach out directly to our Implementation team via support@remindhq.com.

In addition to CSV 2.0 sync, ClassLink’s Roster Server can generate OneRoster files to sync with Remind via SFTP. Before setting up your ClassLink sync with Remind, you must first add Remind to your ClassLink account. We recommend then adding Remind to your organization's ClassLink launchpad so your community members can use single sign-on to log in to their Remind account via ClassLink.

Share preferred language data

We highly recommend you provide the language preference for each of your community members so you can easily send them auto-translated district and school-wide messages. To share language data with Remind, add a preferred_language field to ClassLink's metadata object.

Prerequisite

tick-g5615f15d1_1280.png To share language data with Remind, you must already be sharing language data from your SIS with ClassLink. If your organization is not currently sharing language data in the preferredLanguage metafield, please first work with your SIS and ClassLink team to get that information into the correct field in ClassLink, and then return to this article to follow the steps below to share preferred language data with Remind.  

  1. In ClassLink, select the Settings tab (at the top of the dashboard).
  2. Select Preprocessor.
  3. Click the edit icon mceclip0.png under the Actions column.
  4. Select Users from the left navigation menu.
  5. Click the additive icon mceclip3.pngfor Transform Fields.
  6. Select Add in the Transform Action box.
  7. Type preferredLanguage in the Field to Build metadata box mceclip11.png.
  8. Click the additive icon mceclip4.png for Source Fields section.
  9. Choose metadata.preferredLanguage from the Select dropdown menu that appears.
  10. Click Save button (on the bottom right of the dashboard).
  11. Select the Apps menu (on the top left of the dashboard).
  12. Click the three vertical dots for the Remind app mceclip6.png.

  14. Choose the Users tab.
  15. Toggle the Metadata Fields button to the right to enable it mceclip8.png.
  16. Check the metadata.preferredLanguage box mceclip9.png.
  17. Click Save.

Things to keep in mind

icons8-note-26.png If a student, teacher, parent, or administrator changes their preferred language, their setting will override the language preference data you've shared with Remind for them.

icons8-note-26.png The only values we accept for preferred_language and guardian_language are any two-letter ISO-639-1 or BCP-47 code, or three-letter ISO-639-2 code you can get from this list here.
