Updated over 2 weeks ago

Policy Paste is a Chrome extension that lets you copy verified insurance data from your Canopy Connect dashboard and paste it directly into any online form, including carrier rating applications. This eliminates manual data entry, saving time and reducing errors during the quoting process.

Note: This feature is available on the Elevate or Peak plans.

Note: Policy Paste will remember this mapping for future use.


How to map multiple instances of the same field type

If a form contains multiple instances of the same field type on a single page (e.g., fields for a first driver and a second driver), you can use the instance number to map each one individually.

  1. Click the Policy Paste extension icon in the browser toolbar to open it.

  2. Click the Troubleshooting icon in the bottom right of the extension.

  3. Select the section and field name to map.

  4. Set the instance number to the appropriate value (e.g., 2 for the second driver). The instance number can be increased up to 4.

  5. Click the Map Field button.

  6. Click on the corresponding input field in the web form.

Note: Policy Paste will remember this mapping for future use.

Once mapped, the pull details page will show numbered buttons (e.g., 1 and 2) under the relevant dropdown, such as Drivers. Click the appropriate number to select which driver's information should fill the fields you mapped.
