Everything around the form.

Tracking

Sent, opened, in progress, submitted, reviewed. See who has the link and when it expires.

Forwarding spotted

If one link is opened by several people, you're told it has probably been forwarded.

Several people, no clashes

Colleagues can answer at the same time. They're told if someone else changed an answer while they were typing.

Every change kept

Each answer shows who gave it and how. Changes after submission are flagged as amendments.

Exports

Summary PDF, answers as a CSV, attachments as a zip and the insurer's form filled.

A chase when it goes quiet

Switch on the automation and a questionnaire that's gone quiet puts a chase in your diary.

Before you ask

Questions about questionnaires.

Do insurers need to change anything?
No. You upload their proposal form as it is. Their own PDF comes back filled in, ready to submit.
What if the form isn't fillable?
coverbound places each answer where it belongs on the page, including scanned forms. You check the mapping once.
How long does the client's link last?
14 days by default. You can revoke it at any time.
Can more than one person at the client answer?
Yes. Send links to several contacts. Each one is kept as a separate person on the record.
