To help visualize InsureCert's core actions, we’ve provided illustrative workflows throughout this guide. Below you will find a few of the important ones to get you up to speed.
Once you are connected to a program you can administer policies.
To create an account head over to https://insurecert.io/signup and sign up.
If you received an invitation email from a participating Insurance Carrier or MGA, you will be sent to this signup page. Select a new domain, enter your email and password, and agree to the terms and conditions of use.
Confidentiality
InsureCert takes data security seriously. Your information, quotes, client information and policies are not shared with other brokers or agencies.
In this digital world where personal information can be collected, used and shared with ease, Canadians are becoming increasingly concerned about their privacy. More and more people are choosing to do business with organizations that recognize their security concerns and demonstrate sensitive handling of personal information with a superior level of care.
The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) sets the ground rules for how businesses subject to the law must handle personal information in the course of commercial activities.

After you join a program, you are ready to quote. There are two ways to begin a quote;
Click Programs at the top of the page to access all of your programs.The New Quote button is located to the right of the program
Copy the embed quote to your website. To create quotes directly from your website, copy the embed code and send it to your website designer.
Paste the code into your website. The embed code should be placed into your website as an HTML Embed.
Style the button. Place the button code inside a wrapper and stylize as desired.
Now you or your client can complete surveys and get quotes online. If quotes are not immediately available (do not meet automatic quoting parameters), they will be referred to an underwriter for immediate review. Our system pushes notices directly to underwriters so you do not need to forward the client's information.
Once the survey is complete, the system will generate a quote summary and price. Click the "I Agree" button in terms and conditions to continue.
If your administrator has enabled online payments, you will see instant payment options.
If your program administrator has set invoicing to broker bill, save your quote. You will need to open the saved policy in the Policies menu and bind manually to generate an invoice.
Close the quote window when you are done by clicking the top right X icon.
At the heart of InsureCert is a robust policy administration dashboard. Click Policies at the top of the IO dashboard to see all your quotes, policies and endorsements. You can filter each record by the Status;
Download the quote and forward to your client.
Your program underwriter determines whether submitted quotes require review by the carrier or MGA. If you have created a quote that requires approval before binding, the underwriter receives a direct request to review your submission. Once the order is accepted, you will receive an email notice and the Status will change to Pending Approval.
InsureCert will notify you of all transactions via email. Depending on your program configuration, your carrier may require that all quotes are sent directly to the client rather than through the InsureCert automated email engine. Listed below are the default actions that trigger emails. If you wish to discuss custom handling of your client email, please contact us.
InsureCert supports three different billing/payment options:
Your program underwriter will set the payment options available to you or your clients at checkout.
You can create customized reports and set them to run automatically on daily, weekly or monthly schedules. Reports can contain a wide array of data points and can be customized for various departments within your organization.
To Get Started, click Reports at the top of your screen and then +Add Report
Set the main parameters for your report
To add columns to your report, drag or click from the left table to the right table.
Save your report by scrolling to the top of the report builder window.
To change a policy mid-term, open the policy and click the Endorsement button on the right side of the page. A new policy will open (the endorsement) which will start the survey over. If you change an answer that effects the premium, an endorsement quote will be generated in the summary. The endorsement quote shows the additional premium.
To receive commissions directly into your bank account, connect your Stripe account through the Billing page of your InsureCert account. Under your email address is the settings menu. Open the Billing page, complete all your address information and save your details. Once you save your information, you will be able to connect your Stripe and First Insurance Premium financing accounts.
InsureCert sends renewal alerts to remind you to contact your insured. Depending on the program configuration, a renewal link is either emailed direct to your client and/or only your account. Renewal links are cloned policy records containing the expiring policy information. Opening a renewal link will show the survey summary with with answers from the prior year and the premium for renewal. The user is asked to review and edit answers as needed. Any changes to made will revise the quote to reflect a new premium. You or your client can checkout with the updated premium quote.
If your program is set to Agency Bill, you will have to bind renewal quotes as you do with original policy binding procedures.
Policies do not auto-renew. User intervention by the broker or client is required.
If allowed by your program underwriter, you can upload your logo. Look for the Green Program name. Green indicates a program that can be branded with your company logo.
