Slack, Teams & email

Drop the renewal in a channel. Get the analysis back.

Drag a carrier renewal into a Slack or Microsoft Teams channel and it is handled exactly like an upload: same reading, same engine, same record. The analysis comes back in the thread minutes later. Not in a chat tool? Send it from Outlook, forward it, or drop it in a Drive folder.

The loop

Four steps, none of which are yours.

Step 1

Someone shares a PDF

Drop the carrier’s renewal into the channel your team already uses.

Step 2

blankit picks it up

It confirms the file landed, then reads the letter, claims pages and rate tables.

Step 3

The engine runs

The full fair-premium sequence, line by line — no lighter chat version.

Step 4

The answer comes back in the thread

A draft analysis in blankit, linked from the reply for the whole channel.

One thing to set up

The channel says what the document is.

Tell blankit once what turns up in each channel, or use auto-detect. Unlisted channels are left alone. The types are the same in Slack and Teams.

#renewalsRenewal proposalsA draft fair-renewal analysis in your pipeline, matched to the client.
#claimsClaims experience reportsInto your claims library; the branded report comes back in the thread.
#quotingCarrier quotesAttached to the client’s open quote case.
#commissionsCommission statementsPaid reconciled against owed, shortfalls flagged.
#revisionsCoverage revisionsMid-year changes priced and returned as a branded summary — even from message text.
#bookletsCoverage bookletsInto the booklet library, ready to benchmark, compare or build a microsite.
#fundingASO quote repliesA self-funding quote, set against the insured renewal.

Two apps, one setup each

Slack connects in two clicks. Teams takes a code.

Only the connection differs. Everything after a file lands is the same. Paige, the chatbot for your clients’ employees, is a separate app.

Slack

Click “Add to Slack” in firm settings, pair a channel with a document type, then type /invite @blankit in that channel.

Two clicks to connect. Disconnect any time.

Microsoft Teams

Your Teams admin adds blankit from the app package we send. Send it the connection code from firm settings, then type @blankit set up this channel in each channel.

No Azure, no tenant ID. The code works once, for thirty minutes.

Ask it anything

Your book, answerable in a message.

Mention it or message it directly, in Slack or Teams. It answers from your own records — clients, renewals, claims, quotes, pipeline, tasks — and says so when the data doesn’t hold the answer.

@blankit What renews in the next 60 days?
@blankit Why did Humber Valley’s EHC go up?
@blankit How much variance have we identified this year?
@blankit What did we settle at with Canada Life last year?
It proposes. You approve.

Nothing changes in your account because a message said so.

Ask

Open a task, generate the carrier one-pager, record a figure, move a renewal along.

Review

A card shows the exact change. Only the person who asked can approve it, and it expires after an hour.

Recorded

What, by whom and when — in your firm’s audit log.

Not on Slack or Teams?

Email and Drive do the same job.

The route in changes; nothing after it does. Same reader, same engine, same audit trail.

The Outlook add-in

A “Send to blankit” button in Outlook. Open the insurer’s email, say what the attachment is, send.

Installed once per firm; each person connects in seconds.

Forward it by email

Your firm gets its own addresses for renewals, claims, quotes, commissions, coverage revisions and booklets, from any mail client. Carrier bulletins go to one shared address.

The address says what the document is.

A watched Google Drive folder

Connect a Drive folder and claims experience reports saved there are picked up every hour.

Optionally tidies processed files after a set number of days.

Alerts

Where the team already looks.

Renewals coming due, quiet cycles, outstanding quotes, loss ratios worth a conversation — in a Slack channel, following the notification settings you already chose.

Boundaries

A workspace has guests in it.

Clients, carriers and contractors turn up in channels. The integration assumes they will.

Only the channels you choose

blankit sees only where it was invited, and processes files only in channels you mapped.

Only your people

Access is matched by email to a user in your firm. Anyone else gets nothing unless an admin allows read-only answers, and only your people can approve a change.

Nothing sent on your behalf

No carrier email, client document or account change without someone approving it.

Stored in Canada, same as an upload

Documents arriving by chat, Outlook, email or Drive are stored in Canada and read exactly as an upload is.
