Seamlessly activate MI coverage with an MI activation integration
The MI activation integration enables integrating partners to activate MI coverage as part of the closing process. This integration allows systems to communicate MI policy information to confirm that coverage should be placed into effect, helping ensure a smooth transition from an approved commitment to active coverage.
This integration is typically used during closing and even servicing workflows, allowing systems to activate MI coverage when ready. By enabling MI activation directly within your platform, users can complete crucial MI-related tasks without leaving their existing platform.
The documentation and sample resources provided here will guide you through building a reliable MI activation integration. You'll find information on supported request formats, expected responses, and best practices for handling successful activations and error scenarios.
