Question 1

Does NowCerts have a built-in phone answering feature?

Accepted Answer

NowCerts is a cloud-based agency management system focused on policy management, ACORD forms, client portal, and e-signatures — it does not include phone answering. AgentZap adds AI phone answering on top of NowCerts, so every call is answered 24/7 and call data flows into your existing workflows.

Question 2

How does AgentZap integrate with NowCerts?

Accepted Answer

AgentZap connects to NowCerts through its REST API. When a client or prospect calls, the AI receptionist captures all relevant details — policy inquiries, claims FNOL, COI requests, quote leads — and syncs them to NowCerts. Setup takes about 15 minutes with our team's help.

Question 3

How much does an AI receptionist for NowCerts cost?

Accepted Answer

AgentZap starts at $109/month for 150 minutes of call handling. Compare that to $2,800-$4,500/month for a full-time CSR plus benefits. That's a 96% cost savings with 24/7 coverage instead of just business hours.

Question 4

Can the AI handle after-hours calls for my insurance agency?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AgentZap provides 24/7/365 phone answering. Insurance prospects often compare rates during evenings and weekends. With AgentZap, every caller gets immediate assistance instead of voicemail — dramatically improving your quote capture rate.

Question 5

Can the AI receptionist handle claims calls?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The AI captures First Notice of Loss (FNOL) details including policy number, incident type, date, description, and urgency level. For urgent claims, the system immediately alerts your claims team via SMS and email while everything is logged for NowCerts.

Question 6

Does AgentZap work with ACORD forms in NowCerts?

Accepted Answer

AgentZap captures the information needed to populate ACORD forms — policy details, client contact info, coverage requirements, and certificate holder data. Your team can use this data to generate ACORD certificates, applications, and claims forms directly in NowCerts.

Question 7

What is NowCerts and who uses it?

Accepted Answer

NowCerts is a cloud-based agency management system designed for independent insurance agencies. It handles policy management, ACORD forms, client portal, e-signatures, document management, and reporting. Agencies across the US use NowCerts for its modern, cloud-native approach to agency management.

Question 8

Can the AI handle e-signature requests?

Accepted Answer

When a caller needs to sign documents — applications, endorsements, or policy changes — the AI captures their details, confirms contact information, and queues e-signature requests in NowCerts for your team to send. No manual follow-up needed.

Question 9

How do I set up AI phone answering with NowCerts?

Accepted Answer

Setup takes about 15 minutes: (1) Connect your NowCerts account to AgentZap using API credentials from your NowCerts admin panel, (2) Configure call handling preferences, department routing, and escalation rules, (3) Forward your agency phone number to your AgentZap number. Our insurance specialists handle configuration for you.

Question 10

Can AgentZap route calls to different team members?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The AI intelligently routes calls based on line of business, policy type, or team assignment. Personal lines, commercial lines, claims, billing, and certificates can each be directed to the appropriate agent or CSR with full caller context.
