Hi, I am a teacher at a school, and we use a platform for our Learning Management System called Altitude Learning, currently owned by Higher Ground Education. For our transcripts and reporting grades though, we use a platform called Veracross. The two platforms do not communicate with one another.

 

Our grading system is a bit complicated, and the output from Altitude learning looks something like: Emerging with 72% towards Proficient, which we then have to manually convert into a letter grade referencing a table, and then put that into veracross for each of our students when we report out their grades.

 

What I am hoping to be able to do, is to use Zapier to read in from Altitude learning, reference the conversion table, and then input the grade into veracross. 

 

Unfortunately, Altitude learning and Veracross are not on the list of platforms currently supported by Zapier, and when I asked the online chat person about it, they told me to see if Altitude has an API or direct integration. I have put in a request to see if Altitude learning has something along those lines, but in the mean time, I wanted to see if there was any insight from the community about some other options moving forward.

 

Any ideas?

Hi @Feng 

Most Zap app integrations are created and managed by the app developer using the Zapier Developer Platform.

Otherwise, you have to explore your own custom integrations using available app APIs and webhooks.

Hi @Feng,

 

Welcome to the Community.

 

Upon checking with our apps, Altitude Learning and Veracross are currently not yet supported via Zapier. You can request to have these apps added to Zapier by contacting support via this link: https://zapier.com/app/get-help

 


Thanks for the help so far, I will look into them!


I can’t seem to find the request an app to be added - does that require a paid subscription to be able to access?


Hi @Feng,

No worries! I have made a request on our internal app wishlist on your behalf. You’ll hear from us via email once the apps that you require has been added to Zapier.

Hopefully, this helps!

That’s great, I appreciate it! Do you have a general timeline for when app requests like this typically take?

 

This was the main question I asked Altitude Learning help:

I was wondering if there was an API or direct integration that was available with Altitude learning?

 

This was the response I received back from them: 

Thank you for reaching out! Unfortunately we do not currently have the resources available to complete this type of request. I apologize for any disappointment this may cause. 

 

I've shared your inquiry with our our product and engineering teams to document and will be in contact in the future, once we are able to dedicate time to investigate the possibilities surrounding your request.

 

So my assumption now is that Zapier won’t be a possible solution at this time since the platform itself doesn’t have the necessary components to interface with. Would that be a correct assumption, or am I missing anything?
