COI request tool

Asking a vendor for an updated certificate shouldn’t mean drafting the same email over and over. COI Tracker sends the request for you — from your name — and files the reply against the right vendor.

The job

Where this gets hard

Requesting a fresh COI is a repetitive manual email

Writing the same “please send a current certificate” message to each vendor is pure busywork. COI Tracker composes and sends it for you with one click.

Replies land in your inbox, not your tracker

A certificate a vendor emails back is useless if it stays lost in your inbox. You upload it to the vendor’s record so the document and its expiry live together.

Vendors ignore a request until you follow up

A single email is easy for a busy vendor to overlook. Automatic reminders tell you when to send another request so nothing stalls.

Certificates you’ll keep tracked

Examples we see in this dashboard

  • New vendors at onboarding
  • Vendors with expiring COIs
  • Subs added mid-project

How COI Tracker handles it

  2. 2Upload the certificate PDF on each row. Files are stored privately and surfaced through short-lived signed URLs.
  3. 3Get reminders 30, 14, and 7 days before each expiry. Click “Request Update” to ping the vendor for the new cert.

FAQ — COI Request Tool

What is a COI request tool?

A COI request tool sends vendors a message asking for a current certificate of insurance, so you don’t have to draft it each time. COI Tracker’s Request Update button emails the vendor from your name with one click.

Does the request come from me or from COI Tracker?

The email is sent in your name, so the vendor sees a request from you, not a third party. That keeps the exchange personal and makes vendors more likely to respond.

What happens to the certificate a vendor sends back?

You upload it to the vendor’s record, where COI Tracker stores it privately behind signed URLs and tracks the new expiry date. From there the automatic reminder cycle restarts for that vendor.

When should I send a COI request?

Typically when onboarding a new vendor or when a certificate is nearing expiry. COI Tracker’s 30, 14, and 7-day reminders flag exactly when to send the next request.
