Status Update Emails
Send professional status update emails to adjusters and carriers, with AI enhancement and scheduled future sends.
Why this matters
Writing a professional status update from scratch on a Friday afternoon for the tenth file of the week is a slog. You know what you want to say. You just do not want to type it out ten times, in ten slightly different ways, with each adjuster's name and claim number plugged in correctly. By file number seven the quality drops, and you know it.
Status update emails fix that with three tools you can mix and match. Jot down bullet points and let AI turn them into a polished message. Schedule the send for Monday morning so the adjuster sees it first thing instead of after hours on a Friday. Or skip the typing entirely by leaning on the status automations that fire without you touching anything.
The appraisers who get the most out of this are the ones who would otherwise either skip the update (and pay for it later) or burn an hour on Friday writing them by hand. With the AI assist and scheduling combined, a clean update goes out in under thirty seconds per file.
Status update emails let you send a concise, professional update to the adjuster or carrier directly from an appraisal. You can write the message yourself, use AI to polish it, or schedule it to send at a future time.

Scheduling Future Sends
If you want to send an update at a specific time - for example, Monday morning before business hours - use the Schedule Send option. The email is queued and delivered automatically at the time you choose.
- Pick any future date and time
- Scheduled emails appear in the appraisal activity log as "Scheduled"
- You can cancel a scheduled send before it goes out
Tracking Delivery
Every status update email is recorded in the appraisal Activity tab as part of the communications timeline. You can also view all outbound emails company-wide at Settings > Email Log.
