Only for Remind Hub administrators with ClassLink. If you are switching your current rostering method to ClassLink API from ClassLink SFTP, please get in touch with your Customer Success Manager or contact our Implementation team via rmd.me/help.

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.
