Frequently Asked Questions
Does BrainBridge work with both Skyward SMS and Qmlativ?
Yes. BrainBridge supports both classic Skyward SMS via file export and Skyward Qmlativ via API integration. Many districts are mid-migration, and our team can support hybrid setups.
How does the Skyward API integration work?
For Qmlativ districts, BrainBridge connects through Skyward's REST API to pull attendance and roster data. Your IT team provides API credentials, and BrainBridge handles the data extraction securely.
What if we use file exports instead of API?
BrainBridge accepts automated file exports from Skyward SMS. Configure scheduled exports to an SFTP server or cloud storage bucket, and BrainBridge will process them on your preferred schedule.
Can BrainBridge help with Texas state attendance reporting?
BrainBridge maintains attendance data compatible with Texas TEA reporting requirements. While BrainBridge focuses on predictive analytics rather than state submission, our data stays in sync with compliance-ready formats.
How long does Skyward integration typically take?
Skyward integrations typically complete in 1-2 weeks. API setups are faster (3-5 days), while file-based integrations may take slightly longer for export configuration and testing.
