# WhatsApp for insurance brokers: the claim cannot live on a phone

In an **insurance brokerage** the client does not open the private area. They show the parking dent on WhatsApp, ask if the premium went through, and want a home quote “for today”. If that lands on the broker’s phone, the **claim is theirs**, not the firm’s.

**WhatsApp for insurance brokers** is a company number, an inbox, and renewal templates. The landing is on [insurance brokers](/en/insurance-brokers/).

## Three threads that cannot mix

1. **New business.** Lead from the website or an ad. Qualify the risk, book, quote.
2. **Renewal.** Notice at 30 days and at 7. Utility, not a mass “hi, how are you?”.
3. **Claim / aftersales.** Photos, claim number, “when is the assessor coming?”.

If all three live in the same personal chat, the broker handles the claim and lets the life-insurance lead die. The [inbox](/en/blog/shared-whatsapp-inbox/) tags and assigns.

## Renewals people actually read

The premium email gets ignored. WhatsApp does not. A [utility template](/en/blog/whatsapp-business-templates/): policy, expiry, a link or “reply and I will call you”. The “and I will quote you a home policy” comes **after**, with [opt-in](/en/blog/whatsapp-opt-in-gdpr/).

[Automating](/en/blog/automate-appointments-whatsapp/) the renewal call (slots) avoids the mad week at month-end.

## Claims

The AI can ask for license plate, date and photos and open a record. It must not say “it is covered”. Internal notes: “client is angry, already spoke with the insurer”. That does not go in the visible thread.

## Compliance

Policy phone numbers, opt-out, do not broadcast the claim to a sales group. GDPR hurts more here than at an academy.

## Price

ManyContacts from **€49/month** (3 users). Meta bills each [message](/en/blog/whatsapp-business-api-pricing/). A badly handled claim costs more than €0.0166 of utility.

## Next step

Ask management how many claims from last month live only on a phone. Then [try the inbox](https://app.manycontacts.com/register) or [book a demo](https://calendar.app.google/PH1wtumtQQwLGz756). Checklist on [insurance brokers](/en/insurance-brokers/).
