Automate Naviance with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

• Pending transcript requests for the counseling office

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 7:30

  Step 1

  Get the transcript requests in Naviance with the Show Me filter All pending requests.

  Step 2

  Keep the requests that were not there on the last run.

  Step 3

  Email you the list grouped by transcript, with student, recipient, status and paid.

• Failed eDocs submissions, before the deadline

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 15:00

  Step 1

  Read the eDocs Ready to submit queue in Naviance.

  Step 2

  Keep the rows with status Failed, and stop the run when there are none.

  Step 3

  Post each one, with student, college, document type and application deadline, to your webhook.

• Weekly application results for your seniors

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 8:00

  Step 1

  For each student you name, get the I'm Applying To list in Naviance.

  Step 2

  Keep the colleges whose result or office status changed since the last run.

  Step 3

  Post student, college, result, attending and office status to your data warehouse webhook.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get pending transcript requests” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "id.naviance.com/get_pending_transcript_requests",
    "input": {
      "show_me": "All pending requests"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "filter": "All pending requests",
    "requests": [
      {
        "student": "Jordan Acme",
        "recipient": "Northwind University",
        "transcript": "Initial",
        "status": "Pending",
        "paid": true,
        "confirmed": false
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

Naviance’s own options

PowerSchool's Naviance documentation describes data going in by SIS integrations, SFTP and manual imports, and data coming out through Data Export, a spreadsheet download behind an emailed verification code. It does not describe a general API for transcript requests, applications or eDocs.

Signing in to Naviance

Staff sign in at id.naviance.com with a Naviance ID, an email address and password, or through Clever, and districts can set up SAML single sign-on. With Fous you sign in once through Naviance's own sign-in with your own account. The login is sealed with AES-256, and when you use a Naviance ID email and password, an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Common App submissions cannot be taken back

Once eDocs forms and documents are submitted to Common App, they cannot be cancelled, deleted or retracted. After the Final Report is submitted, no more documents can go to that college.

The FERPA waiver and matching come first

Documents cannot go to Common App until the student has completed the FERPA waiver and account matching. Each document also needs its associated form, such as the School Report.

Office status updates itself only with eDocs

With eDocs, office status, transcript submission dates and recommendation statuses update when documents are sent. Without eDocs, staff update them by hand, so the data is only as current as that.

Data Export asks for an emailed code

Opening Setup > Data Export sends a One-Time Verification Code to the email address on your Naviance account, which you enter before choosing a data type.
