Commercial Insurance Broker Automation: a customer question answered and confirmed in a Reflys chat

Where broker
paperwork piles up

  1. Certificate-of-insurance requests arrive constantly, usually against a deadline the client waited on

  2. Renewal reminders for multi-policy commercial clients are easy to send late or not at all

  3. New quote requests from business owners come in after hours and wait until the next day

  4. Client policy and renewal data live in the agency management system, separate from wherever business clients are actually messaging

  5. Additional-insured and endorsement requests get tracked in email threads that are easy to lose

  6. Coverage-basics questions repeat across new business clients who don't know what to ask for

From COI Request to Placed Coverage

Commercial Insurance Broker Automation workflow: inquiry captured, request handled, and details synced by Reflys
  1. COI Request Automation

    Captures certificate-of-insurance requests and routes them straight to your team to issue.

  2. Per-Policy Renewal Reminders

    Tracks each client's policies individually and reminds ahead of every renewal.

  3. Quote Intake Flow

    Captures new business quote requests any time, even after hours.

  4. CRM Integration

    Connects to your agency management system via API or webhook, configured directly into your automations — reads policy and client data and writes quote and COI requests back in parallel, so nothing's entered twice.

Where Business Client Conversations Happen

WhatsApp-led — COI requests and renewal reminders land in the same thread business owners already use for other vendor communication, faster than an email that gets buried.

Commercial Insurance Agency Automation That Clears the Certificate Backlog

Business clients ask for a certificate of insurance at the last possible moment, usually with a contractor waiting at a gate. Each request arrives missing a detail and takes three messages to complete. Commercial insurance agency automation collects everything in one pass and keeps every renewal in view, so brokers spend their day placing coverage.

How it works

  1. Capture complete certificate requests

    Certificate of insurance requests are taken in a short flow that asks for the certificate holder and any special wording, then routed to your team to issue. Your team receives a request it can act on without asking a second question.

  2. Remind per policy

    Commercial policy renewal reminders track each policy separately. Multi-policy accounts get the right reminder for each of their renewal dates. A client with general liability and workers' compensation hears about each on its own schedule.

  3. Take quote requests at any hour

    Business insurance quote intake collects the basics from small business owners whenever they write, ready for a broker the next morning. Coverage basics are explained in plain terms for owners who are unsure what to ask for.

  4. Connect your agency management system

    By API or webhook, Reflys reads client policy and renewal data and writes requests back, including additional insured requests.

In practice

Picture a roofing contractor who needs a certificate by 3 pm to start a job. At 11 he messages your agency. He is asked for the certificate holder's name and address and whether additional insured wording is required. The complete request reaches his account manager at 11:04 and the certificate is issued by noon. Nobody played phone tag, and he made his start time.

Practical tips

  • Ask for the contract language whenever a client mentions endorsements or additional insured status. Guessing the wording is how certificates get rejected.

  • Start renewal conversations for commercial lines sixty to ninety days ahead. Businesses change more than households, and remarketing takes time.

  • Make clear that the automation routes requests and a licensed person issues certificates and answers coverage questions.
