Insurance Claim & Supplement Handling

Q: How does the automation handle document requests if a customer doesn't respond right away?

The system tracks document receipt and flags missing items. Your team receives alerts so you can follow up with customers who haven't submitted required photos or reports.

Q: Can the automation work with the estimating software and job management tools your company already uses?

Yes, the system integrates with common email, CRM, and document tools. Your existing estimating software and job records are updated automatically as claims progress through approval.

Q: What happens to old claim data and documents when the automation starts?

Your existing claim records and documents are preserved. The system organizes them with consistent naming and storage so they remain searchable and accessible for future reference.

Q: Does the automation send emails to adjusters on its own, or does your team review them first?

The system automatically submits supplements and sends status check emails to adjusters. Your team can review and customize templates before launch to match your company's tone and requirements.

Keep every open claim moving and every supplement documented without drowning in adjuster calls and spreadsheet updates.

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Claim Receivedtrigger

New claim email arrives or customer submits via portal. Automation detects claim keywords and extracts sender details.

2. Parse Claim Data

The automation extracts customer name, property address, insurer, claim date, and adjuster contact from email body and subject line. Structured data is logged.

3. Create Claim Record

New claim record is created with all extracted details, linked to customer contact, and assigned a unique claim ID.

4. Request Documents via Email

Automated email is sent to customer requesting photos, adjuster report, and initial estimate. Email includes a deadline and links to upload portal.

5. Monitor Document Uploads

Automation monitors email and portal for document submissions. Once all key documents are received, they are organized and attached to the claim record.

6. Flag for Estimator Review

Notification is sent to estimator with claim summary, document links, and a flag if supplement is likely needed based on initial estimate amount.

7. Track Supplement Deadline

Once supplement is submitted to insurer, automation calculates approval deadline (typically 10-15 days) and sets a reminder. Weekly status check emails are sent to adjuster if no approval received.

8. Notify on Approval

When adjuster approves supplement or claim is closed, automation sends notification to customer and operations team and email, and updates claim status.
