Sometimes, your insurance business model requires a professional call center team to login to your insurance broker ERP software, and trigger phone calls via Click to call; and perform sales and support.

Yes No

19.1.Call Centre Integration #

Call center integration is supported in SIBRO as an additional customization. Checkout the exact process of call center integration into SIBRO. 

Step 1: Identify the areas or processes where we need to implement click to call. Usually, they are at prospect follow up, policy outward and delivery, and claim follow up.

Step 2: The broker needs to get a Call Centre Solution (Eg: 3cx, Twilio, etc). The PBX system may either be hosted on cloud or on premise. Both hosting methods are okay; as long as the SIBRO support team gets access to connect & test the integration.

Step 3: Once the Call Centre Solution is in place, share the API documentation, testing credentials and support team contact details of the PBX system with SIBRO support.

Step 4: SIBRO team will review and get back with the cost and timelines; usually they cost Rs 42,000 or $650, and takes 2 weeks (ball park).

Step 5: Once integration is complete, the admin will have to update SIBRO Employee Master to add PBX credentials of each user.

Step 6: Admin will also be able to see the integration & last used details at Settings →  Organisation →  Integrations (Kept Read Only for stability).

Once the employee credentials are correctly set, users can start using the click to call feature. Note that users may have to be logged in to their PBX system too for a successful call to trigger.

The call recordings of calls triggered via SIBRO are automatically saved as a follow up note in Sibro. So, later, users can listen to the call recordings right from SIBRO.

Note that SIBRO does not keep a copy of the call recordings; rather, SIBRO just plays the call recording file provided by the PBX system. So, if call recordings are removed from the PBX system, then those recordings will no longer play from SIBRO too.

19.2.Insurer API Integration #

Insurer API Integration is available in SIBRO as a custom feature. Checkout the steps involved in SIBRO Insurer API Integration process.

What all are the steps involved in Insurer API Integration?

Step 1: After the discussions and confirmation from the insurer side, arrange for the integration kits.You may have to do an agreement with the insurer to avail the kits. Also sometimes we may have to to white list our IP addresses.

Step 2: After receiving the pre-requisites, share them with our Sibro Support with the insurer’s technical contact person details. The API Kit usually contains (1) Documentation, (2) Sample code and (3) Dummy card. The insurers will usually provide four types of APIs:

  1. Quotation or Quick Quote APIs – for getting quotes with minimum information.
  2. Proposal APIs – where we fill in more details of the requirements and generate a proposal in the insurer system.
  3. Payment APIs – where customers will be redirected to make payment to insurance companies (or broker; as regulation allows)
  4. Download APIs – where the policy document can be received from the insurer system; to be displayed or downloaded.

At this stage, we only will have access to Insurer’s UAT server. Note that we also have a Quote Calculator of pre-underwritten products as APIs. Those APIs only support till the Quotation Stage.

Step 3: SIBRO team will first create the inputs required for Quotation and Proposal via Sibro Policy Master →  Custom Fields. For some cases like motor, we may enable a few new custom field types from the back-end; like vehicle list, and RTO details.

Step 4: SIBRO team will then start the integration of the APIs. We do it via a middleware called API Engine. This is to simplify the system. The API engine standardizes the APIs for SIBRO. It also provides some data like vehicle names, RTO, etc to SIBRO.

Step 5: Once Integration is complete, at Organisation →  Integrations →  Insurer API Integration, the integrated APIs will get listed. When clicked on it. It will expand and show 3 tabs such as (1) General, (2) Quotation and (3) Proposal.

In (1) General, you can see the API credentials. This is kept read only for stability. You can however set the SIBRO Insurer and Policy Name of the API Integration.

In (2) Quotation, against each API input, select the corresponding SIBRO inputs; i.e. standard fields or custom fields.

In (3) Proposal too, select the corresponding SIBRO inputs.

Once done, SIBRO knows what information to pass to each API without much manual intervention.

Step 6: Once tested, submit our build for UAT. The insurer will review and do User Acceptance Testing. If bugs are reported, we shall correct them. If all test cases are cleared, we will get Sign Off.

Step 7: After Sign Off, if all legal formalities are completed, the insurer will share the production credentials. SIBRO support team will update the same from the back.

22.Client Attachments #

A single client can have more than one prospects as well as policies. Client Attachments are attachments of each client; usually KYC (Know Your Customer) documents. These uploaded documents will be readily available for the next time we select the same client somewhere.

These documents are related to the clients, not policy. So please make sure you do not add any policy related documents under the client attachments section.

This is exclusively those documents that are related to the client details, not policy details. So, do not add any policy documents or proposal documents under the client attachments section.

You can view and update the client attachments during add and edit of a client; either from the Masters or via the Prospect or Policy request add/edit.
