Self-Service COI Upload
How vendors upload their own certificates through the Vendor Portal.
Once a vendor accesses the portal via their magic link, they can upload certificates of insurance directly. This page describes the vendor's experience.
The Upload Process
- The vendor clicks their magic link from the invitation email.
- They land on a portal page showing:
- Your organization name and project name.
- The certificate holder information that should appear on their COI.
- A list of required coverages with minimum limits.
- The vendor drags and drops their certificate file (or clicks to browse). Accepted formats: PDF, PNG, JPG, and TIFF.
- Inori uploads the file and immediately begins AI analysis.
- Within seconds, the vendor sees the result:
- Compliant — All requirements met. A green confirmation appears.
- Non-Compliant — The portal shows which specific requirements were not met, so the vendor knows exactly what to fix.
File Requirements
- Maximum file size: 25 MB per certificate.
- Recommended format: PDF for best AI extraction accuracy.
- One certificate per upload — If a vendor has multiple policies, they upload each certificate separately.
After Upload
Once the vendor uploads a certificate:
- The record status in Inori updates automatically based on AI analysis.
- The audit trail logs the upload with the vendor's email and timestamp.
- If the record becomes compliant, no further action is needed from the vendor.
- If non-compliant, the vendor can upload a corrected certificate at any time while their link is active.
Vendor Notifications
Vendors receive an email confirmation after each upload, including the compliance result. If their certificate was non-compliant, the email includes a link back to the portal to upload a corrected version.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| "Link expired" message | Ask the record owner to resend the portal invitation. |
| Upload fails | Check that the file is under 25 MB and in a supported format. |
| Wrong requirements shown | The record owner should verify the project's insurance requirements in Inori. |
| Analysis shows unexpected results | The vendor should ensure the certificate lists the correct certificate holder name and address. |
