For administrators with Remind Hub using ClassLink.

This article explains how to set up a ClassLink API connection.

Prerequisite 

1. Before you can set up a ClassLink API for your organization, you must first add Remind to your ClassLink account by following the instructions here. 
2. You must set sharing permissions in ClassLink to allow Remind data access. You can use ClassLink resources on setting rule-based permissions. 
   • Be sure to review the data you are sharing with Remind:
     • Include active classes - Remind creates classes for every shared section.
     • Review user roles - Remind ingests the teacher, student, parent, guardian, aide, and administrator roles. Any user with the teacher or administrator role who is associated with a class will only become a class owner if they are marked as primary within ClassLink. 
     • Enable demographics data - Select birthDate in the Optional Fields section.

Sync

When you're ready to push your organization's data live, please reach out to our Implementation team. Your data will not be active in Remind until you communicate with our Implementation team.

After you've approved the release of your organization's data, the initial data sync may take anywhere from 20 minutes to 24 hours to finish. Once the initial sync is complete, we'll send you a confirmation email with details of the sync and the next steps.

The processing time of subsequent data syncs should not exceed 8 hours.
