2. Log to /workspace/claims/register.csv
3. Categorize: auto/property/liability/workers-comp
4. Send claimant acknowledgment with claim number and timeline
5. Create claim folder: /workspace/claims/active/CLM-YYYY-NNNN/
6. Generate document checklist based on claim type
7. Assign to adjuster based on /workspace/claims/adjuster-capacity.csvDocument Collection Workflow

Frequently Asked Questions
Can OpenClaw automatically assign claims to adjusters based on workload?
Yes. Maintain an adjuster capacity file with current open claim counts. When a new claim comes in, the agent assigns it to the adjuster with the lowest load in the relevant category.
How does OpenClaw track state-specific filing deadlines?
Create a deadlines reference file with each state's requirements by claim type. When a claim is created, the agent calculates the deadline based on loss date and state, and monitors it daily.
Can OpenClaw send automated status updates to claimants?
Yes. Set up triggered communications at key milestones: claim receipt, documents received, investigation started, decision made.
Does OpenClaw integrate with claims management systems?
OpenClaw can read/write files and call APIs. If your CMS has an API, connect it directly. CSV exports work as a fallback for systems without APIs.
