We've rewritten our Skyward SMS integration to provide support for our extensive new data models. In addition to releasing this updated integration, we've also added support for Skyward's next-generation SIS, Qmlativ (pronounced: cumulative).
Of course, to go along with these changes, we've also updated our administrator onboarding flow for Skyward SMS and introduced a new flow for Skyward Qmlativ. This onboarding flow contains all of the instructions that administrators need for a quick and painless setup process.
API Updates
- Added SMS & Qmlativ support for our extended rostering models (e.g. periods, room numbers, facilities).
- Added SMS & Qmlativ support for coursework and grade sync.
- Added SMS & Qmlativ support for calendars and attendance.
- Added SMS & Qmlativ support for behavior / incident reports.
- We fixed an issue with upcoming sessions in Schoology. They were previously being imported as
inactive, which was technically correct, but not what we were expecting to happen. - We can now process custom roles that are set in Brightspace.
- Google Classroom classes will now have a primary teacher (who is the one marked as the owner of the class). Previously, we imported all teachers (including co-teachers) but we did not mark anyone as the "primary" teacher.
- We've exposed a new property on assignments called url. This property is read-only and contains a URL that points back to the assignment within the LMS.
Dashboard Updates
- Updated the administrator onboarding flows for Skyward SMS and Qmlativ.
