# Nightly Agents: Set-and-Forget Data Hygiene for Insurance CRMs (with MCP + n8n + Claude)

<p>Bad CRM data is silent revenue loss. Wrong renewal dates, missing emails, duplicate contacts, unassigned leads. Manual cleanup never happens. Nightly agents do it for you.</p>

<h2>Five Nightly Jobs Worth Running</h2>
<h3>1. Duplicate Detection and Merge Suggestions</h3>
<p>Agent scans last 30 days of new contacts, fuzzy-matches names + DOB + phone, and creates a "merge candidates" task with a one-click resolution UI.</p>

<h3>2. Email Validation Sweep</h3>
<p>Pulls contacts with no email-validation status, runs them through a verifier, tags as valid/invalid/risky. Tomorrow's outreach excludes invalid.</p>

<h3>3. Stale Lead Reactivation Triage</h3>
<p>Finds leads cold for 60+ days, scores reactivation likelihood, drafts a personalized re-engagement message ready for producer approval at 8am.</p>

<h3>4. Renewal Date Reconciliation</h3>
<p>Compares CRM renewal dates against carrier-of-record sources where integrated, flags discrepancies for CSR review.</p>

<h3>5. Producer Activity Heartbeat</h3>
<p>Identifies producers with no logged activity in 5+ days. Sends a soft nudge. Escalates to manager dashboard at 7 days.</p>

<h2>The Stack</h2>
<p>n8n (or a Supabase pg_cron job) triggers Claude via the Anthropic API → Claude calls unLocked MCP → results posted to Slack and CRM. Total marginal cost: pennies per night. Replaces hours of manual review per week.</p>
