Client document request templates adjusters can copy and customize
Clear, copyable message templates for requesting photos, estimates, policy documents, receipts, and follow-up items from clients — customize tone and details for each claim.
For adjusters and claim teams requesting documents and photos from clients.
How to request documents clearly
- State what you need, why it matters, and how the client should send it.
- Prefer numbered lists with due dates over long paragraphs.
- Separate client-visible portal tasks from internal staff notes.
- Log what was requested and when — not just what arrived.
