HeRB Gets a Makeover, Carrier Product & Validation Updates

HeRB Makeover

While the core functionality remains unchanged, we’ve made it easier to navigate through HeRB (Herald Request Builder) with the following enhancements:

• Collapsable request and response fields: The request and response fields in the code blocks are now collapsable, simplifying navigation to different code fields.
• Request field tabs: We’ve reorganized request fields into tabs, enabling seamless update to parameters related to Risk, Coverage and Admin Values.

Carrier Product Enhancements

We continue to build out and improve Bind:

• Expanded Bind support: Bind is now available for 1 additional MPL (Miscellaneous Professional Liability) product, bringing the total to 7 products!
• Post-Bind actions: Actions are now supported when binding certain Cyber Admitted and Surplus products.
• Error mapping improvement: We’ve updated the handling of invalid license numbers to correctly return a [.h-code]rejected[.h-code] status.

We've enhanced several carrier products to return additional data elements:

• Quote response fields: Fields including [.h-code]quote_number[.h-code] & [.h-code]prices/details[.h-code] were extended to 7 products.
• ML (Management Liability) product update: One ML product updated to support EPLI (Employment Practices Liability Insurance).

Improvements in Validation

Our ongoing focus on data quality includes improvements in data validation logic for over 100 risk and coverage parameters that will help you create a pleasant user experience:

• Optional values for [.h-code]input_types[.h-code] [.h-code]address[.h-code] and [.h-code]claim_event[.h-code] now accept an empty string as a response, which maps to a [.h-code]null[.h-code] value. Check out our other data cleaning rules.
• We extended minimum and maximum length guidance for all parameters with [.h-code]input_type[.h-code] [.h-code]integer[.h-code], [.h-code]currency[.h-code], [.h-code]long_text[.h-code], [.h-code]claim_event[.h-code] and [.h-code]address[.h-code].

Our product team grows… again!

We're excited to announce the addition of another new product manager with a background in insurtech to our growing team. We're expanding both our team and product backlog!
