Vendors without connectors
Many district systems have an API or nightly file export but no ready-made integration to the rest of the district's tools.
School districtsWho we serve
District systems,
connected carefully.
Districts run finance, facilities, board meetings and websites alongside their student systems. SentraBridge connects them through APIs, databases and SFTP files, without keeping a copy of what it moves.
§ The problem
What gets in the way.
Board materials to publish
Board agendas and minutes need to reach the website and the records repository on time.
Data that shouldn't be copied
Any integration that keeps its own copy of records adds one more place sensitive data must be secured.
§ How it works
How it works for school districts
- 01Add the APIImport the vendor's OpenAPI file, or use a database or SFTP.
- 02Draw the flowRead, map fields, check and write.
- 03PreviewSee real records at each step without writing.
- 04ScheduleNightly or on the hour, in your time zone.
§ What you get
Built for school districts.
Import any OpenAPI file
Upload a vendor's OpenAPI or Swagger file (YAML or JSON) and SentraBridge builds the connector automatically.
Learn more →Nightly files over SFTP
Read and write CSV, JSON, JSON Lines and XML files on SFTP, with archive after read.
Learn more →Pass-through only
Records live in memory while a flow runs. History keeps counts, timings and record IDs, never contents.

Each links to its connector page. Not listed? Any REST API, OpenAPI file, database or SFTP server works.
CivicCA§ FAQ
Questions, answered
Is there a connector for our student information system?
Not a pre-built one. If it has a REST/JSON API, SentraBridge can connect to it as a plain API or from its OpenAPI file. If it exports files to SFTP or exposes a database, those work too.
Does SentraBridge keep student or staff records?
No. Records pass through in memory and are dropped when the run ends. Run history holds counts, timings and record IDs only.
Can district IT host it?
Yes. SentraBridge can run on your own servers, including networks without internet access.
