How can we link our SMS to iDeaL so students are added automatically?

Created by David McLean, Modified on Sun, 19 Oct at 8:19 PM by iDeaL Support

Our API can currently connect with eTAP and Edge (Helix) SMSs. 


To set this up, your principal or a member of your leadership team needs to complete the iDeaL SMS Form to give permission. 


Once the link is active and the correct classes are set in your SMS, student data will automatically update overnight and students will appear in their correct class groups in iDeaL. 


Following this, you’ll just need to make sure teachers are allocated to their class groups. Instructions can be found in our iDeaL Startup area in the iDeaL platform or click on the video below.
