Green Cards and contacting Clients


NewLink

Question

Afternoon All, 

 

I assume, like me, you have begun to receive info from insurers relating to green car issuing for motor policies pre & post Brexit.  My question is, I assume I need to contact all with a motor policy and advise them that the EU coverage on their cert will possibly be invalid on their certs.

 

Is there a way that I can send a "Group" email mailshot to all clients (obviously observing GDPR) for those that have requested email cores. and a letter to each client that has preferred post?  What I am trying to get at is other than going into each clients diary page and manually requesting can the system do a group sending?

 

I have OA/OPM if that helps, do I need more software?  

 

This could also assist us with the "Newsletter" we are planning on sending later in the year as well.

 

Thanks

 

Steve

Hi Steve

 

You should be able to generate emails via Database Enquiry.

 

You would search with something like:-

 

bpy.ptype              Equal to   pc        
BPY.Term.date          Equal to             
BCM.Contactpref        Equal to   Email     

 

(Obviously add whatever parameters you need).

 

Then select the 'Generate letters/diary notes/memos/emails' option;

 

then 'Email Messages'

 

Once you have entered 'Subject' etc. you will have different options on how to create the email body, I use a Word template. Obviously before any of the above you will have to setup an appropriate OpenWord template.

 

Ideally for any batch printing/emailing you would use OpenDocumentCentre but dependant on the volumes you run at a time OPM should work. You will probably need to press 'send' on each email as they pop up though.

 

Disclaimer: Always be careful when doing anything en masse! Test with a small number of dummy policies first!  Remember, if you need any help with this - Mark Sollis is a consultant who offers such services.

 

Kind regards

    • Hi Claire,   We took on INVU back in 2008 and still use it today in its Virtual Cabinet guise. No issues with printing from VC whether that be to network printers or pdf and there are also options to send from VC to email which can be useful.    Overall, we remain very happy with VC so have seen no real advantage to move over to OpenAttach.   One little issue is we never managed to get the automatic indexing / filing of standard OGI/OpenWord letters and emails into VC. We just click a few buttons to file them manually.   Happy to chat through further if you wish - I will be at the Members day this coming Thursday    Darren
    • Hi @Clare Carter   I probably cant advise on day to day use / issues, but may be able to help although not sure of your question   Are you still on Virtual Cabinet (VC) and how are you trying to print on OGI - and what / where from   Also - I'm pretty sure there are minimal issues with transferring to OpenAttach - what are the concerns there?  
    • Just wondering if any of the current members have previously been using Virtual Cabinet, and which originally was Invu provided by Linden House.   It is only relatively recently that Open GI have come up with Open Attach but there is an issue in transferring data.   If anyone is still using Virtual Cabinet which evolved from Invu and Linden House, could they let me know whether they had any issues with Open GI and printing.    Thanks
    • Hi Andrew   I do have a copy - but you can get them / best to get latest copy from the support site - presumably you have a registered account??   Just go to the link here RMAR Reports and Spreadsheet   Any problems come back and let me know!
    • Hi   I am new to OGi and not sure how the system deals with the FCA required Client Money Calculation. A previous post mentioned a OGI PDF document detailing the reports to get the numbers and apparently there is a spreadsheet to input all the numbers as well.   Is anyone able to forward the PDF and spreadsheet or provide assistance please.   Thanks
