Understanding Student Information System (SIS) Webhooks
Webhooks are used to integrate personalized information into the Ocelot virtual assistant. Clients find that 80% of the web capabilities can be implemented pre-built and 20% need to be tailored to meet their specific needs.
Our webhooks can be applied to over 100 top-level questions within our general library. 50% of answers to the top 100 student questions are dependent on or augmented by SIS connector, which Ocelot can support. When the connector personalizes virtual assistant answers, we know students will engage 300% more.
Below is a breakdown of Ocelot's different capabilities through our pre-built SIS connector, including the types of questions each web capability can support. Some webhooks may appear in multiple departments. These webhooks are tested by all departments listed.
