How to set up WhatsApp renewal reminders

WhatsApp has become the preferred channel for Indian insurance agents to send renewal reminders. This guide covers timing, message templates, bulk-sending rules, and how to track responses without switching apps.

Step-by-step setup

1. 1Organize your client list by renewal date — export from your CRM or Excel sheet, sorted by due date.
2. 2Segment by insurance line: life, health, motor, travel. Each has different ideal reminder cadence.
3. 3Create 3 message templates — one for 30 days before, one for 7 days, one for due date.
4. 4Set up a daily renewal review — open your renewal board each morning and send reminders from the overdue and due-today buckets.
5. 5Log responses in your CRM — mark each renewal as "confirmed," "pending," or "lapsed."
