Certified Skyward Partner
Avela + Skyward: Enrollment data that lands in your SIS automatically
Avela is a certified partner in Skyward's Partner Program. With Avela Connect, when a family finishes enrolling in Avela, their records are created in Skyward in real time. Nobody has to export, import or re-key anything. Avela Connect supports Skyward Qmlativ and SMS 2.0.
Avela Connect is a ready-made integration built on Skyward's sync APIs. When a family completes an Avela enrollment form, Avela Connect creates the student, guardian and emergency-contact records in Skyward right away, along with any documents the family uploaded. Your team doesn't have to clean up spreadsheets, and nothing sits waiting to be imported.
What is Avela Connect for Skyward?
Key Features of the Avela + Skyward Integration
Real-time, API-driven: Records go to Skyward as soon as a form is completed. No flat files and no manual uploads.
One-way or two-way: Send data from Avela to Skyward, from Skyward to Avela, or sync both ways. You choose which system is the source of truth.
Documents synced: Files families upload are attached to the matching record in Skyward.
Custom fields synced: Beyond the standard student, guardian and contact fields, other fields on your forms can be mapped too.
Duplicates detected: Avela checks for duplicates before a record is created and again during the sync. If a student already exists in Skyward, Avela updates that record instead of creating a second one.
Built so nothing slips through: Every synced change is logged. Each morning your team gets an email digest showing what synced and what needs attention.
What Syncs?
Families and contacts: guardian profiles, emergency contacts and household details
Students and enrollment: student profiles, school and grade placement, and uploaded documents
Health and immunization: health responses and immunization records
