FACTS API Setup Instructions

The integration between Reach and FACTS allows for the automatic population and updating of user data within Reach. Scheduled to run nightly, this sync ensures that any changes to demographic information in FACTS are reflected accurately in the Reach system. Specifically, the integration populates Student and Parent information from FACTS, streamlining data management processes for schools.

To set up the integration, complete the following steps:
  1. Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: The subscription key will be provided to the school from Reach.  Please email support@reach.cloud to obtain access to the subscription key.
  2. Facts-Api-Key: The API key given from the school/district.  The school/district will upload a .txt file to securedrop.reach.cloud with their Facts-Api-Key listed.

A Reach developer will complete the integration and you will be notified of the changes.
