Setting Up Clever with Type to Learn

In order to activate Clever on your Type to Learn account, you will first need the following:

• An active Clever account (if you do not have one, click here to create one).
• An active Type to Learn account.
• The Type to Learn app connected to your Clever account.

Clever for Single-Sign-On (SSO) Only

If are only using Clever for SSO, you users will need to be in your account prior to activating the integration. When adding or importing users, make sure they each have a unique email associated with their account AND that that email is the same email address associated with them in Clever.

1. Connect your Clever account to the Type to Learn app
2. Make sure all users in your account have an email address associated with them that matches their email address in Clever
3. Ask our Customer Success team to activate the integration on your account

Once the users exist in both Type to Learn and Clever (with a matching email address), and you’re connected to the Type to Learn app, you can then allow your students access to the app in Clever. Once a user clicks the Type to Learn app, Clever sends an authentication request to Type to Learn, attempting to match the user’s email address to a Type to Learn user. If found, access is granted and the user is logged in. If the user is not found, you will see an error message. 

If you are seeing an error message or need help getting set up on Clever for Single Sign On, please contact our support team for help.

Clever for Rostering

With Rostering enabled on your account, student data will be updated and/or new students will be created, whenever a student logs in from Clever. If Rostering is enabled, SSO will also work. The steps are very similar for getting your account ready for Rostering.

1. Connect your Clever account to the Type to Learn app
2. For New Customers:
   1. There is nothing you need to do as a new customer, you can skip to Step 3.
3. For Existing Customers:
   1. Make sure all users in your account have an email address associated with them that matches their email address in Clever.
   2. Make sure the buildings in your account match the building names in Clever.
   3. Organize your account so all students and teachers are in the correct buildings
4. Ask our Customer Success team to activate the integration on your account

Our Customer Success team is standing by and ready to help get your Type to Learn account organized and ready for integration with Clever. Simply let them know you’d like to integrate with Clever for Rostering and they will review your account and help get everything properly set up.

Once all steps are complete and the integration is activated, any student that logs in from Clever will be matched based on their email address. If a match is found, the student is logged in to their account and information is updated in Type to Learn based on the data in Clever (such as a new grade, or a new Group). If no match is found, a user is created in Type to Learn for that student, using all the information in Clever (username, email address, first/last name, grade, etc).

NOTE: The Sections associated with each student get created in Type to Learn as Groups. This is a great way to organize and mange the students with teachers, but many times unnecessary Sections can get created in Type to Learn, causing confusion.
