Setting Up Student Information System (SIS) Sync with Clever - District & School Level

How to setup Student Information Systems (SIS) to sync student records with Bound.

Clever Syncing

  1. Share the following information with your Bound Director or Onboarding Specialist.

    1. Your Clever district or school name.

    2. The name and email address of the individual at your district or school who should receive the invite to connect to Bound's application in Clever.

  2. The individual specified will receive an email from Clever with the invitation. Follow the instructions from this email to set up a connection with Bound’s application within Clever.

  3. After these steps are complete, your Bound representative will connect your district from Clever with Bound and notify you once this step is complete.

  4. Once this connection has been established, Bound will automatically sync with Clever every night to ensure students in the Bound platform are up to date with those in the Clever platform.

    You can also manually sync with Clever at any time by navigating to your District Students page in Bound, clicking the Manage Students, then clicking Sync Students from the dropdwon. This will take a few minutes to complete.


The decision on which fields to sync can be selected by the district or school. The following fields on a student record are able to be synced to Bound from a SIS:

School ID

School Name

Student Clever ID

Student First Name, Last Name

Student Gender

Student Graduation Year

Student Date of Birth

Student Lunch Status

Contact ID

Contact First Name, Last Name

Contact Email

Contact Phone Number

Contact Student ID

Contact-to-Student Relationship Type


Sync Indicators

When Bound is connected to your SIS, you will see several indicators:

  • Last Synced Indicator: Shows the last time that Bound synced with your SIS.

  • Student Synced Indicators: Indicates that this student record is synced between Bound and your SIS. (Note: Fields that your school chooses to sync between Bound and your SIS can ONLY be edited in your SIS.)
