The connection does not replace licensed judgment, carrier decisions, or unsupported application and commission workflows. You can run supported insurance agency work from Codex by connecting it to unLocked CRM on Pro or Max, reviewing current priorities and contact records, and authorizing supported messages, quotes, notes, and links. unLocked remains the permission-controlled system of record. The connection does not replace licensed judgment, carrier decisions, or unsupported application and commission workflows. ## Operate The Agency, Not Just A Chat Window The useful change is moving from “write me an email” to a reviewed action against the current client record. A draft has not reached the client. A quote discussed in conversation has not necessarily been saved. A supported action should leave a record your agency can retrieve. This guide uses **a data-sync workday** as the organizing example. It is not webinar coverage and does not claim Codex has exclusive insurance capabilities. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Grok Bots, Muse AI, Claude Code, and Codex share the supported unLocked action catalog within approved access. ## Connect Codex And Set The Boundaries Start with the [Codex integration](/integrations/codex). Use the supported connection rather than pasting a full customer export into an unrelated conversation. Approve only the permissions needed and begin with read-only requests. Do not assume a consumer chat account can access your agency merely because you name the CRM. The external connection is included on Pro and Max, not Core. Messaging and calling usage is billed separately from seats, and the AI tool may have its own subscription requirements. unLocked is the **AI CRM for insurance agents** and remains the system of record. Customer data is never used to train AI. ## Begin With A Data-Sync Workday Start with data that drifts between systems, such as lead sources, tags, or appointment status in another tool. Ask Codex to build a read-only comparison between that source and unLocked using supported contact actions, with the key kept out of the prompt. The priorities action reviews missing replies, unread messages, scheduled appointments, notes, and memories. The whole contact profile can bring together details, tags, notes, messages, calls, quotes, and documents. Ask the assistant to distinguish confirmed facts from assumptions before proposing work. Try this with a fictional test contact first: > Using my unLocked API key from the environment, write a read-only script that compares the contacts in my test export with unLocked by email and phone, and lists missing records and duplicate candidates. Print the differences. Do not create, merge, or update anything. This is example wording, not guaranteed command syntax or a demonstration of completed work. Stop if the assistant cannot identify the contact, lacks permissions, or needs missing information. Do not let a general answer stand in for a returned CRM result. ## Confirm The Record Before Acting Review the differences yourself. Similar names do not prove the same person. Approve creation or field updates only for verified records, and have the script log each change so it can be checked afterward. Separate discovery from execution. A contact search may return several matches; names alone can be ambiguous. Confirm the intended record before updates or messages. If you authorize a change, name exactly what should change and what should remain untouched. For outreach, check consent, the intended channel, approved wording, and the actual returned URL. Intake links collect information, quote links show supported options, and booking links arrange a conversation. They are not interchangeable. Never allow a made-up link or missing client detail to become an outbound message. ## Use Live Quotes Where The Workday Needs Them The shared live quote catalog covers life, Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, Part D, ACA, dental-vision-hearing, and hospital indemnity. Underwriting actions can run and save an assessment, quote from it, and return a case-report PDF link. Assessments are not binding carrier approvals. Confirm required inputs before quoting. Review the results, save the selected quote on the contact, and inspect its branded PDF link without sending. Then authorize email or text delivery now or scheduled, with saved wording and a chosen mailbox where applicable. Annuity quoting is not included in this catalog. For product-specific walkthroughs, use the [AI quoting guide directory](/quote-from-ai-tools). The model brand does not determine a carrier's price; the supported quoting action and confirmed case details do. ## Review The Afternoon Follow-Up Schedule the reviewed comparison to run again and report differences rather than silently overwrite records. Keep messaging and quote delivery out of unattended syncs unless each send is reviewed and consent is confirmed. Messaging and scheduled quote sends can be reviewed and updated through supported actions. Be specific about whether you are drafting, sending now, or scheduling for later. Review existing schedules before creating another message, and read the returned status instead of assuming delivery. ## Leave A Handoff The Team Can Use Record what the sync changed as notes or tags on the affected contacts and keep the run log with the script. unLocked stays the system of record; the outside tool should read from it, not replace it. Ask Codex to retrieve the updated note, message, contact, or saved quote after the action. That read-back confirms that work reached unLocked. Keep the next step factual: what happened, what remains unverified, and what response is expected. Another team member's permissions still govern what they can see. ## Know Where Chat Stops And The Platform Continues unLocked supports the wider lifecycle from lead creation through quoting, CRM e-apps, policies, and commission management. Supported work can happen without opening the unLocked interface, but that does not turn every platform feature into a connected chat action. E-apps are live in the CRM for Life Insurance, Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, and Ancillary. Starting an application directly from an external-AI quote is not currently supported. Commission+ is Max-only, with 332 carrier commission connections; do not infer commission reconciliation from access to an AI connection. Carrier approval, enrollment, policy issuance, and a paid commission remain distinct events. ## Sources And Further Reading These guides describe documented product workflows, not independent productivity benchmarks or a ranking of the models.
