Short Answer

You’ll use a secure SFTP connection to send nightly SIS exports (e.g., from Skyward) into EZRouting, following a Pathwise-provided template and credentials.

Why This Happens

• EZRouting relies on consistent, automated student data syncs from your SIS to keep routing data current.

• For many SIS platforms, this is done via scheduled SFTP pushes of CSV files in a standard layout.

What You Can Do

1. Obtain SFTP details and templates

   • EZRouting Support will provide:

     • SFTP host, port, path, username, password.

     • A sample student file and layout template your SIS export should match.

2. Configure SIS export (e.g., Skyward)

   • Work with your SIS admin to:

     • Build an export that matches the EZRouting template.

     • Include required identifiers (student ID, school, status, etc.).

3. Schedule the recurring job

   • Set a nightly SIS job to push data between 12:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. Eastern Time, or in the agreed-upon window, to avoid conflicts with daily operations.

4. Validate initial loads

   • After the first runs:

     • Confirm student counts and sample records in EZRouting.

     • Check for errors or rejects in SIS/EZRouting logs.
