Onboarding process
The GG4L Onboarding process for the GearUp Integration consists of the following steps:
1. Onboarding initiation
Firstly, you need to fill in and submit the form. Once the form is submitted, GG4L will offer you an Introductory meeting to talk about all the integration details and help you with onboarding.
2. Roster data integration
Upon submission of the form, you will receive SIS Data Integration instructions within 24 hours. These instructions guide you on how to set up the data-sharing integration between your SIS and the GearUp. For details, see The connection between data sources and GearUp.
Make sure to check the data requirements before you start data sharing with School Passport.
Once the data is synced, we will validate and check the data quality before sharing. If any details need clarification, a GG4L Customer Support Representative will contact you.
3. Activation and configuration of the GearUp app
After importing data to the School Passport, you will receive activation and configuration instructions for the GearUp app.
