Anthology Student - Anthology Reach

The integration between Anthology Reach and Anthology Student can be accomplished using the different modalities.

Flow-based Data Integration

Flow-based data integration is data integration via Microsoft Power Automate flows and Anthology Student events and workflows.

  • Anthology Student events trigger workflows in response to record changes in the Anthology Student database.

  • Power Automate flows interact with the Command Model APIs of Anthology Student.

Reach-Student Data Integration

Flow-based data integration is currently available for numerous entities in Anthology Reach and Anthology Student and can be deployed as needed by customers.

For more information, refer to Flow-based Integration.

Azure Service Bus Integration

Azure Service Bus (ASB) Integration is data integration via subscribed business events using the Azure Service Bus functionality.

  1. The source system (Anthology Student or Anthology Reach) publishes business events that clients can subscribe to.

  2. The Integration Hub enables configuration of the ASB as well as failure management (dead letter queues) and logging.

  3. The ASB invokes the Anthology Product Connector, which provides the Azure Functions and/or logic apps required for the integration.

  4. The Anthology Product Connector transfers data from the Anthology cloud to the client cloud.

  5. If client extensions exist, the Anthology Product Connector interfaces with the client extensions. The client extensions update the target system Anthology Student or Anthology Reach).

Initially, ASB integrations will be available only for a few business events. More business events will be added so that ASB integrations can eventually replace flow-based integrations.

For more information, refer to Service Bus Integration.

Hybrid Integration

Hybrid Integration uses both the legacy flow-based data integration and the new Azure Service Bus integration. Depending on the customer's data integration requirements, flow-based and ASB integration methods can be deployed simultaneously.
