Only for administrators with the Remind plan and 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. Prior to setting up your ClassLink sync with Remind, you must first add Remind to your ClassLink account.

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.

2. Select Preprocessor.
3. Click the edit icon under the Actions column.
4. Select Users from the left navigation menu.
5. Click the additive icon for Transform Fields.
6. Select Add in the Transform Action box.
7. Type preferredLanguage in the Field to Build metadata box .
8. Click the additive icon 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 .
13. Select Filter Fields.
14. Choose the Users tab.
15. Toggle the Metadata Fields button to the right to enable it .
16. Check the metadata.preferredLanguage box .
17. Click Save.

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.

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. 

Now click here to set up ClassLink within Remind.
