Sample use case

Syncing Applied Epic client data into an insurance renewal-automation platform

Summit Commercial Insurance Advisors manages over 2,000 commercial accounts in Applied Epic. They have deployed your renewal-automation platform to send proactive renewal outreach 90, 60, and 30 days before expiry. The platform needs current policy renewal dates and client contact details from Epic to trigger the right outreach at the right time.

  1. 1

    Register the OAuth client in Applied Epic

    Summit's Applied Epic administrator logs into their Epic Cloud portal, navigates to the API and OAuth settings, and creates a client application for Askel. They assign the client access to the Account, Policy, and Activity API scopes and note the client ID and client secret.

  2. 2

    Enter credentials in Askel

    Summit's admin enters the Applied Epic host URL, client ID, and client secret into the Askel setup screen inside your renewal platform. Askel exchanges the credentials for an access token via Applied Systems' OAuth endpoint and confirms connectivity by fetching the account count.

  3. 3

    Schema discovery

    Askel reads the Applied Epic API objects accessible to the OAuth client and identifies the Account, Policy, Activity, and Contact objects along with any custom fields Summit has configured in Epic. Your CS team sees a mapping draft within minutes.

  4. 4

    Map and validate

    Summit tracks a preferred-contact method custom field on client records. A CS rep maps this to the renewal platform's outreach-channel attribute and runs a dry-run against accounts with renewals in the next 90 days to confirm the correct clients and policy details are captured.

  5. 5

    Go live

    The daily policy sync is enabled. Askel pulls updated renewal dates and contact details from Summit's Epic account and loads them into the renewal platform. Clients whose policies renew in the next 90 days automatically enter the outreach sequence.

Authentication

Service account

The customer's Applied Epic administrator registers Askel as an OAuth client in Applied Epic Cloud or via the on-premises OAuth configuration, assigns the required API scope permissions, and provides the client ID and client secret to Askel. Askel exchanges these for an access token and refreshes it automatically before expiry.

FAQ for Applied Epic

Is the OAuth setup the same for Applied Epic Cloud and on-premises Applied Epic?+
No. Applied Epic Cloud uses Applied Systems' hosted OAuth identity provider, and the client registration happens inside the Epic Cloud admin portal. On-premises Applied Epic installations require a separate OAuth configuration step in the local application server settings. Askel's setup guide covers both paths. The client ID and client secret format is the same in both cases.
Which Applied Epic versions are supported?+
Askel supports Applied Epic versions that include the Applied Systems REST API (available from Epic 2019.4 onward). Earlier Epic versions that only expose the legacy Applied CSR24 web services interface are not covered by this integration.
What API scopes does the OAuth client need?+
The required scopes depend on what your product reads. For policy and renewal data, the client needs Account and Policy read scopes. For claims, it needs Claims read scope. For accounting data, it needs the Accounting scope. If your product creates activities or updates client records, write scopes for those objects are also needed.
How are Applied Epic custom fields handled?+
Applied Epic allows agencies to add custom fields to Account, Policy, and Activity records. Askel discovers these custom fields during setup and includes them in the mapping interface alongside standard fields. Custom fields are flagged so your CS team knows to confirm the correct mapping with the agency before going live.
