Create Inbound Quote from An External System

Use InsQuoteService:createUpdateQuoteFromExternal service to create a quote or update an existing quote with new information through an inbound API call from an external policy admin system.

When: This feature is available from Vlocity Insurance Winter '22.

Why: You can now integrate an external policy admin system with the Salesforce insurance platform.

How: You can use both the simplified or the normal quote json. Use the InsQuoteService:createUpdateQuote if you aren’t using the simplified json.

• isForExternal = true

• action = submit or reprice
