What if your CRM came with a teammate? Not a feature. Not a tool. A teammate. One that knows your goals, understands your students, and gets the job done—without starting every task from scratch or bouncing between different systems.

That’s exactly what Bolt Agents in Element451 are built to be.

In this post, we’ll show you how an admissions staff member uses the Enrollment Agent to drive yield—without building everything from the ground up. You’ll see what it’s like to hand off a project to your AI teammate and watch it go to work.

Starting the Day With a Goal

It’s Monday morning. You log into Element451, coffee in hand. The latest report shows 200 admitted students haven’t submitted their deposits yet.

It’s crunch time.

Instead of spinning up a new campaign or chasing lists, you go to your Enrollment Agent and assign a job.

• Job: Get admitted students to submit deposits
• Goal: 50 deposits in the next week

That’s it. You’ve just given your agent an assignment—just like you would to a junior team member.

The Agent Gets to Work

From there, the Enrollment Agent starts reasoning how to achieve the goal.

In this scenario, it creates a communication plan. The agent drafts a series of messages for email and SMS. It picks the right tone, the right message, and even the right time of day based on each student’s past engagement. Someone who tends to open emails at night? They’ll get a message at 8:30 p.m. in their time zone.

Then, you can review the actions and the content the agent recommends. You can edit the copy, approve the timeline, or ask the agent to try a different approach. Everything is editable, and you’re always in the loop.

Approve. Launch. Track.

Once you approve the plan, the Enrollment Agent launches the campaign—automatically.

• Messages go out over several days
• Follow-ups adjust based on opens or clicks
• Students who deposit are automatically removed from the campaign

You don’t have to manage each step. The agent handles delivery, timing, and performance tracking.

You’ll see updates right in your dashboard:

• Progress toward the 50-deposit goal
• Who’s engaging
• What’s working
• What the agent is optimizing in real time

What You’re Not Doing

Here’s what you didn’t have to do:

• Build a campaign from scratch
• Write and re-write emails and text messages
• Schedule send times
• Track who’s responding and who’s not
• Chase colleagues for help

Instead, you gave a goal. Reviewed the plan. And got back to working with students face to face.

Why It Works

The power of Bolt Agents is in how they think. They’re not just responding—they’re reasoning.

• They know your systems because they live inside Element451
• They learn from behavior to improve outreach
• They take care of the follow-up
• And they help you do more—with fewer clicks and more confidence
