HealthSherpa sends emails automatically during the enrollment journey. Many of these emails are required by the Marketplace.

In this article we’ll cover:


Automatic emails at a glance

HealthSherpa sends emails automatically at certain points in the quoting, application, and enrollment submission journey. These emails, also called auto-emails, are triggered by specific consumer or agent actions.

Agents may be copied on certain auto-emails sent by HealthSherpa. Auto-emails come from no_reply@healthsherpa.com and may include the writing agent’s name, email address, and phone number.

When a consumer uses a link from an auto-email to resume shopping or applying, their activity stays connected to the writing agent’s HealthSherpa account.

Outside of required auto-emails, HealthSherpa does not contact consumers on an agent’s behalf.


Examples of auto-emails

The auto-emails listed below are the only emails HealthSherpa may send automatically to consumers. Auto-emails are triggered by specific consumer or agent actions during the enrollment journey, and exact email copy shown in examples may vary.

When the email is sent directly from HealthSherpa, the sending agent is automatically copied.

The email directs the consumer to next steps for making the initial premium payment when payment is required. Consumers should follow carrier payment instructions to help ensure coverage is effectuated.


Frequently asked questions

Are auto-emails marketing emails?

No. Many auto-emails are required by the Marketplace and are not marketing emails from HealthSherpa.

Can agents customize the email signature within auto-emails consumers receive?

Agents are able to set up custom branding within the marketing link included with their HealthSherpa for Agents account. When possible, any customizations made will apply to the auto-emails consumers receive.

Agency administrators can also control email customizations at the agency level.
