About This Automation Insurance and bonding renewal requires manual tracking of policy expiration dates, carrier outreach, quote review, and approval coordination. The process is fragmented across email, spreadsheets, and carrier portals, creating delays and renewal-miss risk.
Automation monitors renewal dates, sends templated requests to carriers, tracks responses, and routes approvals to management. Coverage stays current with minimal manual intervention.
Key features:
Monitor policy expiration dates and trigger renewal workflows 60 days in advance Send templated renewal requests to carriers and log all outreach automatically Consolidate renewal quotes and policy documents in a centralized tracking sheet Route approval requests to management and flag completion status Notify operations and sales teams when coverage is active and current Top friction points when done manually The issues teams report most often with this process

67% 3 Manual approval bottleneck
Forwarding quotes to management and waiting for sign-off introduces unpredictable delays.
53% 4 Spreadsheet tracking errors
Manual entry of renewal dates and premium amounts in spreadsheets leads to missed renewals and data inconsistencies.

1. Policy Renewal Date Approaching trigger
Automation checks the renewal tracking sheet daily. When a policy renewal date falls within 60 days, the workflow is triggered.
2. Fetch Policy Details from Sheet
Automation retrieves the policy number, carrier name, contact email, and current coverage limits from the master Google Sheet.
3. Send Renewal Request to Carrier
Automation sends a templated email to the carrier requesting a renewal quote, citing the policy number and current coverage.
4. Log Renewal Request in Sheet
Automation records the request date and status in the tracking sheet, marking the renewal as 'In Progress'.
5. Notify Team
Automation sends a message to the compliance officer and management with the policy details and a link to the tracking sheet.
6. Review Quote and Approve
Compliance officer receives the carrier's quote, reviews it, and approves or negotiates terms. This step remains manual to preserve business judgment.
7. Update Renewal Status in Sheet
Once approved, automation updates the tracking sheet to mark the renewal as 'Approved' and logs the new expiry date and premium.
8. Send Confirmation to Team
Automation sends a final notification confirming that the renewal is complete and coverage remains active.
