How does it work?

The Anthology integration is bi-directional, meaning data is synced in two directions:

• Element451 → Anthology
• Anthology → Element451

Element451 uses a contact-centric data model, so all integration processing occurs at the contact level rather than the application or opportunity level. When a sync is triggered, the entire contact record is processed.

This includes:

• Biographic and demographic information
• Contact details
• Previous schools
• Applications

Sync Configuration

The default and recommended setup is unidirectional syncing, syncing Element to Anthology.  Bi-directional syncing is available for partners who wish to bring back data into Element (be it updating or creating new records)

Element451 → Anthology

This sync process sends data from Element451 to Anthology.

Element451 uses a combination of:

• Configurable platform features (labels, rules, webhooks)
• Managed integration processes maintained by Element451

How the Sync Is Triggered

By default, the integration is initiated through the following sequence:

1. A label—Element451 to CampusNexus - Trigger Sync—is applied to a contact record.
