ClassTag Connect offers Single Sign-On (SSO) rostering integration with ClassLink or Clever. Alternatively, set up data with SFTP or use our manual process in the product.
If you use ClassTag Integration but decide not to automatically sync parents/guardians' information, follow the steps in this article to upload and connect them to their children's profiles.
ClassTag Sync is only available to ClassTag Connect customers. Please contact our Support Team at support@classtag.com if you are interested in upgrading your ClassTag Account.
