CLAIM DETAILS
• Claim Number: claim_number
• Policy Number: policy_number
• Date of Loss: date_of_loss
• Assigned Adjuster: assigned_adjuster_name

Your adjuster is expected to contact you expected_first_contact. You can review messages, upload documents, and follow progress in the claim portal: claim_portal_urlOpen your claim.
The attached overview explains the typical claim process and information we may request. This acknowledgment confirms receipt of the claim; it is not a coverage or payment decision.

Workflow context
When to use this workflow
Use immediately after an authorized team member has opened a claim file and can confirm the claim number, policy number, date of loss, assigned adjuster, and expected first-contact window. This message acknowledges receipt only; use a status update for later milestones and a reviewed decision notice for any coverage or payment determination.
What this replaces
Replaces manually assembled receipt emails, copied claim-intake messages, and separate follow-ups that omit the claim reference, assigned contact, portal link, or clear explanation of what happens next.
Why teams standardize this email
A consistent acknowledgment helps the policyholder recognize that the claim was received without suggesting that coverage or payment has been decided. The sender still verifies the current file details and reviews the complete Outlook draft before sending.
What Toggles adds beyond a normal Outlook template
Toggles inserts the workflow directly in Outlook, prompts for variables, prepares operational details, and keeps the draft editable before sending.

FAQ
Does this acknowledgment confirm that the claim is covered?
No. It confirms that a claim file was opened and explicitly states that the message is not a coverage or payment decision. An authorized reviewer should verify the claim details and approved wording before sending.
How is this different from a claim status update?
The acknowledgment is the first receipt message and introduces the claim number, assigned adjuster, and next contact. A status update is used later to report completed steps, the current status, and the next expected milestone.
What does the workflow add to the Outlook draft?
It fills the selected claim and policy variables, adds the portal link, attaches the configured process overview, and adds the configured claims-intake CC. The sender can review or change every detail before sending.
