New Zapier Integration App

We’ve been focusing on adding WebHook support to our Zapier Integration App over the past several releases. We finally introduced Instant Triggers in v2.0.0 earlier this month. With this latest release, v2.0.1 will now support district-wide webhooks. You can export more documentation on our Zapier Integration App in the coming weeks.

Sign-In / Sign-Out App (2022)

The QuickSchools Sign-In/Sign-Out App has undergone quite a few improvements over the years. Schools are using this app to:

  • Track the exact date and time when students sign-in and sign-out of school
  • Allow students to sign themselves in
  • Allow parents to sign in their children
  • Track the total time a student is in the school (usually for billing or compliance purposes)

You can find this app on our app store:
