Give everyone on campus a better start. OnboardConnect brings Slate, your SIS, and your directories together, turning new students, staff, and faculty into ready accounts with less manual work. Students arrive from Slate admissions. Staff and faculty accounts start from internal request forms or imports. Each group gets its own rule set for usernames, password policy, and group memberships. Place each account in the right organizational unit for its role, and move people between units as their roles change. Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, and your SIS stay coordinated. Stay in control without chasing every handoff. Review activity, see what needs attention, and manage permissions. Your team defines the process and has the visibility to improve it. For students, staff, and faculty, it means a smoother path to campus services. For your team, it means fewer manual handoffs and a clearer picture of onboarding. Bring Slate, your SIS, and your directories together with OnboardConnect. Discover what a more connected campus can look like. Visit onboard connect app dot com to request your ninety-day trial.

Questions, answered
A clearer picture before you start.
What is OnboardConnect?
OnboardConnect is a workflow platform for higher education institutions using Slate CRM. It connects student records from Slate, and staff and faculty requests from internal forms or imports, to account provisioning in Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID and Google Workspace, with steps for campus systems, files and notifications.
Can OnboardConnect onboard staff and faculty?
Yes. Departments or HR can request staff and faculty accounts through an internal form or a CSV import, and a workflow can also read records from your SIS or SQL Server. Separate Provision Rule sets give students, staff and faculty their own username pattern, UPN domain, password policy and group rules, and on-premises Active Directory steps can place each person in an OU based on a field such as role. Slate remains the source for students; OnboardConnect does not connect directly to HR systems.
How does OnboardConnect connect to Slate?
Query Service steps read student data from Slate, or a workflow can start from a webhook or CSV upload. Source Format steps send mapped data back to Slate, and file steps transfer documents over HTTPS. Your Slate administrator configures the relevant queries, Source Formats and credentials.
Do we need an on-premises agent?
Only for on-premises resources. Slate, Microsoft Entra ID and Google Workspace connect from the cloud. The agent runs as a service on a Windows or Linux server and handles on-premises Active Directory and local resources, including configured SIS and SQL Server connections. It opens an encrypted outbound WebSocket connection. Your network must allow the required outbound traffic; no inbound connections from the internet are required.
Can students, staff and faculty reset their own passwords?
Yes. Administrators can enable a branded self-service portal, choose the directory connection that receives resets, and verify each person using a recovery contact already on file. Recovery data and messaging providers must be configured before rollout.
Is provisioning instant?
Timing depends on your source schedule (a Slate query, a form submission or an import), workflow steps, queue load and connected systems. Your team can review run history and individual step outcomes rather than relying on a fixed performance promise.
How do we evaluate the platform?
Request a 90-day trial. We review your environment, walk through your first workflow and arrange trial access. No credit card is required. Use representative records to validate field mappings, permissions and outcomes before expanding your rollout.
