Configuring Let's Talk! with RapidIdentity

Let's Talk! is a Customer Experience Platform that purports to unify school communication, meet students and teachers where they are, and build a stronger school climate and culture. This is configurable with RapidIdentity for SAML connections as desired.

   4. Name Format Friendly Name as a URI Reference.
      

4. Click Save.

5. Return to the Identity Providers > Federation Partners menu, and click Add Federation Partner. When given the dropdown, choose SAML 2.0.
   

6. Now click Create SAML Relying Party.
   

7. In this menu, first expand and fill out the required details in the General section, providing the Relying Party a name, optional description, and metadata. Example provided here, but it will need to be updated with information provided by K12 Insights.
