KUALI BRIDGE

Bridge the gap between campus systems.

Build sophisticated integrations without the complexity of traditional middleware. Kuali Bridge gives IT teams a visual way across campus systems. It speaks the native language of the Kuali Platform.

A BETTER WAY TO BUILD INTEGRATIONS

APIs are the foundation. Some processes need more.

Connecting one application to another is only part of the challenge. Many institutional processes require information from multiple systems before work can continue.


A curriculum approval may require data from your SIS, employee information from HR, and financial validation before routing for approval. A research workflow may need to retrieve investigator information, validate compliance requirements, and update multiple applications when work is complete.


These aren't single API calls - They're connected processes. Kuali Bridge was designed to build them.

01

Visual Integration Designer

Build integrations using a visual, node-based interface instead of writing custom middleware.

02

Multi-Step Workflows

Retrieve, transform, combine, and route information between multiple campus systems within a single integration.

03

Native to the Kuali Platform

Bridge understands Kuali forms, workflows, users, and data models, making integrations easier to build and maintain.

04

Reusable Connections

Build an integration once and reuse it across multiple applications and workflows.

Example:

Looking up student records during form submission.

Example:

Validating financial accounts before approvals.

Example:

Retrieving employee and organizational data.

Example:

Combining information from multiple systems into a single process.

DESIGNED AROUND CAMPUS WORKFLOWS

Built for the work campus teams actually do.

Whether you're supporting academic operations, research administration, finance, or institutional workflows, Bridge helps automate the movement of information between systems.

Centralized Management

Manage integrations from one place instead of disconnected scripts.

BUILT FOR THE KUALI PLATFORM

No separate integration platform. No separate translation layer.

Unlike generic integration tools, Kuali Bridge is designed specifically for the Kuali Platform. Your integrations work directly with Kuali forms, workflows, users, and application data, without custom adapters or complex configuration.

Shared Permissions

Leverage the same authentication, permissions, and governance capabilities that power the Kuali Platform.

Role-based access, same as every Kuali app

No separate permission system to manage

Centralized, admin-controlled access

Secure by design

Gadget Nodes

Add gadget nodes to any connection to export data in the exact format Kuali forms and workflows expect.

Structured output, ready for any form

Compatible with any Kuali workflow

No manual field mapping required

“The closeness of the relationship with Kuali exceeds that of our typical software vendors. This partnership sets the tone for how we work with partners and vendors.”

"The old solution was to use people and email and PDFs and paper to do the integration, and it just was not scaling—absolutely not scaling."
