Integration is a huge focus here at Suitable.
Being able to share crucial student success data back and forth between existing systems can make a major impact on the student experience.
While we love when University Partners choose to do as much as they can with Suitable, we also recognize that we don’t do it all, so it’s our goal to make sure external integrations run smoothly.
If you are a Suitable partner and want to integrate systems not currently offered out of the box, we offer access to the Suitable API to meet your needs and specification.
With this integration and the help of your Client Success Manager, you can discuss any external integrations needed, and they can advise what methods would be most appropriate.
For example, you can integrate with Salesforce or Anthology, among other applications.
Many of our partners use Salesforce to house student data, so we make it a priority to ensure smooth crossover for Salesforce users.
One way to integrate Suitable with Salesforce is to simply add a student’s Suitable profile links to Salesforce student profiles.
Our university partner ACU Dallas does this with great success.
ACU Dallas uses Guided Pathways for co-curricular engagement, leveraging digital badging and our Co-Curricular Transcript.
Using Salesforce, they still host student profiles in Salesforce as well as Suitable. They chose to simply link a student’s Suitable Co-Curricular Transcript in Salesforce so that advisors can seamlessly navigate from a student’s Salesforce profile to their full Co-Curricular history in Suitable with ease.
While the two systems operate somewhat parallel to each other, administrators can meet their needs from both systems without ever having to learn the other system.
In this case, ACU Dallas’ use of Salesforce is for advising, whereas, Suitable relates to co-curriculars and competency development.
The easy integration between the two allows both systems to meet the university’s needs holistically.
We love to be able to provide a service that fills gaps for schools and does not add administrative burden. That's why we ensure that we can integrate with many common student success systems.
