Run an enrollment agent from a school's admissions inbox
Short summary
Learn how to build an autonomous enrollment agent using Nylas Agent Accounts to triage school admissions inboxes at scale. The agent owns its own inbox identity, automatically classifying FAQ questions, verifying document submissions, and sending deadline reminders without human intervention. Tutorial covers account creation, webhook integration, signature verification, and the critical architectural boundary between mail handling (Nylas API) and application logic (your database).

- •Webhooks fire on inbound mail; your code handles classification and document verification
- •Free tier supports ~200 messages/day and 30-day retention; production uses custom domain
