What are the most actionable uses of SMS for an insurance company?

There are many ways in which you can utilize insurance SMS, apart from the ones described above. Here are a few ideas:

  • Inform customers about the progress of their application.
  • Send real-time alerts every time a payment is processed.
  • Send policy numbers and start dates via text.
  • Make it easy for customers to request additional information and answer instantly with SMS auto-responders.

  • Promote informational blog posts by forwarding them as SMS short links to your subscribers.
How can I automate appointment reminders, cancellations, and schedule changes?

If you operate a small insurance company, you can send appointment reminders relatively fast with manually scheduled SMS.

For instant scheduling, we recommend integrating SMS with your favorite scheduling and booking app. Here’s a step-by-step guide to scheduling insurance appointments:

Step #1: Log in to your Textmagic account or sign up for a free 30-day trial. Navigate to the Zapier integrations page. Find your scheduling app on the list.

Step #2: Connect your tools (Textmagic + scheduling app). Choose your trigger and action. Some zaps are predefined, but you can also use your imagination. We will set the trigger as “SCHEDULED BOOKING” and the action as “SEND MESSAGE”. Click Connect and follow the steps outlined by the tool. It’s super intuitive.

OPTIONAL: For every canceled booking you can also set an automatic SMS blast to fill the slot. You can offer a small discount to incentivize your customers.

Note: Each scheduling app has specific integration rules. Make sure you read the instructions and test your Zaps before publishing them. For more powerful functionality you can also integrate the Textmagic SMS API into your software.
