In short

How do I handle certificate of insurance requests automatically?

When a certificate-of-insurance request arrives by email, WebRun reads the holder and coverage details, finds the matching policy in NowCerts, and drafts the certificate on the correct ACORD form. It leaves the certificate unissued and posts your team in Slack to review and issue, so COI requests are prepared fast but never sent on their own.

  • Every COI request gets a draft prepared within minutes
  • Certificates are pre-filled from the live policy, not retyped
  • Issuing stays a human decision, with the draft ready

Questions, answered

Will it issue or send the COI on its own?

No. WebRun drafts the certificate on the right ACORD form in NowCerts and leaves it unissued. A team member reviews the holder, coverages, and wording, then issues it. Nothing is sent to a holder without a human.

How does it match the request to a policy?

It reads the insured name and coverage details from the email, then finds the matching policy in NowCerts and pre-fills the certificate from that policy's coverages and limits.

What if the request needs special wording?

WebRun captures any special wording or additional-insured language from the email and includes it on the draft, so the reviewer sees exactly what was asked before issuing.

Put this on autopilot.
