SMS Bot for Insurance

Insurance agencies handle high volumes of routine questions — policy details, claim status, premium due dates, and coverage options. SMS Bot automates these so agents can focus on complex claims and new business.


Example Keywords and Replies

KeywordReply TypeExample Response

policyMenu"Reply 1 for policy details, 2 for coverage summary, 3 for payment options"
cardStatic text"Download your insurance card at [portal-url]. Log in with your policy number."
agentStatic text"An agent will contact you within 1 business hour. For emergencies, call [number]."

Setup Approach

  1. Connect to your policy management system via webhook so the bot can return real-time claim and premium data.
  2. Use static replies for portal links, office hours, and document request instructions.
  3. Include an escalation path — insurance conversations often require human judgment for claims disputes or coverage questions.
