Certificate of Insurance Requests Ready for Team Review
Certificate of insurance requests become messages your agency can review and act on. Your receptionist asks for the details you specify, including the recipient and requested timing. Try a fictional certificate request in the browser demo.
Capture Certificate Requests During Busy Office Hours
Your receptionist collects certificate request details while your team is handling other calls or the office is closed. The message gives your agency a starting point for reviewing the request.
02
Recipient informationTake the intended recipient's details according to your intake instructions.
03
Requested deadlineRecord the caller's timing so your team can assess priority.
Full details
Certificate intake captures what the caller needs while your staff are occupied with other agency work. A business owner might call before a job starts, while another caller needs documentation for a new customer. Your receptionist takes the information you have told it to gather.
The message helps your team see who called, what they requested and when they want a response. Forward only busy or unanswered calls if your staff usually handles these requests directly. Use after-hours forwarding when you want callers to leave the details after the office closes.
How the Receptionist Takes a Certificate Request
The receptionist gives the virtual assistant and recording notices, asks your certificate intake questions and sends the message to your team. Your agency reviews the request and handles the certificate.
Full details
Your receptionist starts by telling the caller it is a virtual assistant and that the conversation is recorded. It then uses your questions to gather the certificate request. You can ask it to collect the business name, callback details, intended recipient and requested deadline.
We send the resulting call information by email and app push notification. Your team can open the dashboard to review the transcript or recording before following up. The receptionist takes the request; certificate preparation and delivery stay with your agency. Use the setup walkthrough to see how your instructions become the call flow.

Full details
Your onboarding answers give the receptionist the agency context behind a certificate request. Tell it which requests you handle and the questions your team wants answered before calling back. Include how to record a caller's requested timing without presenting it as an agreed delivery deadline.
You also set the urgency rules and the order for reaching your on-call contacts. A warm transfer gives the recipient a short summary before they press 1 to take the call. Test the request flow with fictional business details, then update the settings in plain words if your process changes.
Your Agency Prepares and Issues the Certificate
The receptionist takes certificate requests but does not prepare, issue or send certificates. It does not confirm coverage or promise delivery by the caller's deadline; your team reviews the details.
Full details
Your team handles the work after intake: reviewing the caller's instructions, resolving questions and preparing the certificate. The receptionist records what the person asks for without treating a requested change or recipient requirement as approved. Coverage questions go to your licensed agent.
When a caller wants something sent immediately, the receptionist can capture the deadline and follow your urgency rules. That gives you context for deciding what to do next. Review the call record before acting, particularly when the request includes unfamiliar wording or details that need to be checked with the caller.

FAQ
Can the receptionist issue a certificate of insurance?
No. It gathers a certificate request for your agency and sends the call details to your team. Your staff reviews the instructions, prepares the certificate and handles delivery. The receptionist does not promise that a document has been issued or sent during the call.
What details can it ask for on a certificate request?
You specify the intake questions your team wants it to use. For example, you can ask for the caller's name, business, callback number, intended recipient and requested timing. The summary gives your staff a starting point, with the transcript and recording available for checking the conversation.
How do we receive certificate request messages?
Each call produces an email and app push notification containing a summary, urgency tag, transcript and recording. Calls are also available in the dashboard, and we send a daily digest email. Your team can read the request and enter the relevant details into its own software.
What happens with a certificate request after hours?
Your receptionist can answer it once your agency's after-hours calls forward to the service. It takes the request using your questions and sends the call alert. If the situation matches your urgency instructions, it can warm transfer or page your on-call person in the order you set.
Can the caller switch to Spanish during the request?
Yes. Your receptionist speaks English and Spanish and supports a language change during the call. It continues taking the request using your agency's instructions. The same boundary applies: it gathers details for your team, which handles the certificate review, preparation and delivery afterward.
