EAB Navigate
What it is
EAB Navigate is a student success and advising platform used by hundreds of colleges and universities. It centralizes early alert workflows, advising appointment scheduling, four-year degree planning, and at-risk cohort campaigns. Academic advisor and retention agents use it as the primary coordination hub for student support interventions.
When to use this skill
- Pulling the early alert queue to identify students flagged by instructors for academic or attendance concerns
- Scheduling advising appointments or creating referral appointments on behalf of students
- Updating alert resolution status after an outreach attempt
- Launching a targeted outreach campaign to an at-risk cohort
- Reviewing a student's four-year plan progress and advising appointment history
Credentials
This skill authenticates using env vars declared in the frontmatter metadata field. Set these in ~/.openclaw/.env (template: .env.example):
EAB_NAVIGATE_BASE_URL - institution's Navigate API base URL
EAB_NAVIGATE_API_KEY - API key from Navigate's integration settings
Key operations
GET /api/alerts — retrieve open early alerts with type, course, instructor, and urgency
PATCH /api/alerts/:id — update alert status (resolved, in-progress, no-contact)
POST /api/appointments — create advising or referral appointment
GET /api/students/:id/plans — retrieve four-year plan and degree progress
POST /api/campaigns/outreach — trigger an outreach campaign for a defined student segment
Notes
- Navigate's API access requires an institutional data-sharing agreement with EAB; verify integration is enabled before deploying.
- Student record access is governed by FERPA; agents should only surface alert details to the student's assigned advisor or care-team members.
- Appointment creation requires the student's consent flow if initiated on their behalf via an automated agent.
- Some Navigate API features are licensed add-ons; check institutional contract for availability of campaign automation endpoints.
