Enquiries called back while the form is warm
Dograh is the self-hostable voice agent platform with an open-source workflow builder. The agent rings each consenting enquiry, records what your admissions rules need and books an advisor, with applicant data held on the school's own servers.
Form, consent check, then the call
No signed consent, no AI call
Prior express written consenta signed yes to artificial-voice calls
For a for-profit school, an enrollment call counts as telemarketing. The form names the school and number and says calls may use an artificial voice.
→ File each signed consent with its enquiry
The CRM starts the callback
API Triggerone request places the call
Program and preferred start ride along in the request, so the agent opens on the right course.
→ Hold night enquiries until morning
Answers recorded, rules applied elsewhere
Variable extractioneach answer saved to its own field
Start date, class times and payment plans go to your admissions system, which decides who meets an advisor today.
→ Funding questions get a financial aid booking
Published text in, judgement to staff
Replace a Knowledge Base file whenever the page behind it changes
Your CRM sends the request, and start dates come from the system that owns them
Transfers connect only once the staff member answers
Clear these with admissions and counsel
- Form wording reviewedAgreeing to AI calls must never be a condition of enrolling.
- Calling hours respectedSales calls to a home line generally wait until 8 a.m. and stop by 9 p.m. local time.
- Approved copy for jobs and payPlacement and salary figures are read word for word from approved text, or an advisor takes the question.
- QA hunting off-script claimsWrite the QA prompt to catch any salary or funding promise missing from approved text.
- Documents through your upload linkThe school's system texts or emails its secure link, and nothing is collected on the call.
Applicant records stay on campus

From enquiry to first day, one guide each
Can a for-profit school call enquiries with AI?+×
Generally yes, with prior express written consent from the enquiry form. A tax-exempt nonprofit school generally needs prior express consent. Confirm wording with counsel.
Will the agent say whether someone qualifies for Pell?+×
No. Workforce Pell, GI Bill and loan questions are recorded, and the agent books a call with financial aid.
Can it quote job placement rates?+×
Only the school's published, approved figures, read as written. Anything beyond them goes to an advisor.
What about prospects who call in at night?+×
They reach the same agent through the number's inbound setting and get the answers a callback would give.
How are missing documents collected?+×
The agent names the item, then your system sends its secure upload link by text or email. Nothing is collected by voice.
Where should a school start?+×
The enquiry callback. Get the consent wording right on the form first, and have the CRM confirm it before each call goes out.
Let your next enquiry hear from you first.
