Getting Started in the District

Clever Secure Sync lets you sync data from every SIS with one integration - instead of building a separate connector for OneRoster files, PowerSchool, Aeries, Skyward, Infinite Campus, eSchoolPlus (and so on), you can quickly provision accounts and use that time to improve your core product.

Secure Sync

Secure Sync allows you to access information about users and provision accounts in advance; Classroom-only applications have access to user information only when the user logs in through IL.

Secure Sync also gives access to roster information - student-teacher associations and classroom data.

Getting started with Secure Sync

First, check out Clever's Data Model to understand how data is organized in Clever. There are three major components to a solid Secure Sync integration:

  1. Onboarding districts - identifying the district-app token and preparing to ingest data
  2. Initial sync - matching existing data and provisioning accounts for the first time
  3. Ongoing sync - handling changes to data on an ongoing basis, including semester and school-year rollover

We'll go over best practices for each of these pieces in the next three pages.
