Enrollment data syncing with student management system

Purpose

1. Fully automate the syncing of enrollment data incoming from prospect or student portals, forms, or external intake sources into the institution’s primary student management system (SMS) to enable seamless admissions, record-keeping, onboarding, reporting, compliance, and communication activities.

2. Automating this process ensures real-time data accuracy, reduces manual entry errors, maintains compliance with healthcare/nursing accreditation, and powers downstream automations for orientation, billing, and regulatory reporting.

3. Unifies disparate application channels (web, mobile, CRM, third-party) and automates repetitive administrative manual work for staff.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automatic trigger upon a new enrollment submission on online forms/applications.

2. Scheduled trigger to batch-sync new and updated enrollments nightly or at custom intervals.

3. Trigger when data is updated/modified by applicants or administrators.

4. Trigger from external source integrations (e.g., government registries, partner colleges).
