Insurance products are co-constructed between you and the Korint operational team before being deployed on the platform. At Korint, an insurance product is a set of configuration files for your product.
  • Custom fields: custom fields adapt Korint core entities to your product.

External Policy ID Generation

Each product is configured with a generateExternalPolicyIdTrigger that controls when an incremental external policy ID is automatically assigned to new policies. This setting works together with externalPolicyIdFormat, which defines the template used to format the generated ID.
Trigger valueBehavior
CREATIONAn external ID is generated immediately when the policy is created.
CONFIRMATIONAn external ID is generated when the policy is confirmed, for New Business branches only.
SIGNATUREAn external ID is generated when the policy is signed, for New Business branches only.
NOTHINGNo automatic generation. External IDs can be set manually via the edit-external-id endpoint (only available when this trigger is set).
The externalPolicyIdFormat template supports the following variables: {incrementalPolicyId} (zero-padded to 8 digits), {incrementalPolicyIdPad4} (zero-padded to 4 digits), {incrementalPolicyIdNoPad} (no padding), {YY} (2-digit current year), {MMYY} (month and year from policy creation date), and {externalProductId}. This section is a work in progress.
