Do progress claim contacts receive emails from Procore?
Yes. If you are designated as an progress claim contact for your company, your Procore user account will receive emails when the following actions occur:
- When a user clicks the 'Create & Email' or 'Save & Email' button on the General tab of a commitment. See Create a Purchase Order or Create a Subcontract.
- When a Subcontractor SOV is rejected and the contracting party changes the purchase order's or subcontract's status to 'Revise & Resubmit'.
- When your company's insurance policy information that was uploaded to Procore is within approximately 2 weeks of expiring. The 'Send Expiration Notification' option must be selected on your company's insurance record by a Procore Administrator. See Who receives notification emails when a vendor's insurance expires?
- Optional. Invites you to submit a subcontractor progress claim for the current billing period. To learn more, see one of these links:

OR - If you have the Progress Billings tool, see Configure Settings: Progress Billing.

Do progress claim contacts need to be granted special access permissions to Procore?
No. If you have been designated as a progress claim contact on a commitment, Procore automatically adds you to the 'Private' list for that commitment. This means you can view that commitment in Procore, as long as your Procore user account meets the requirements details in Add Progress Claim Contacts to a Purchase Order or Subcontract.
- On a subcontractor progress claim, the contact's name appears in the 'Progress Claim' section of the Advanced Settings tab in the 'Progress Claim Contacts.' Contacts can also receive invites to submit subcontractor progress claims and reminder emails from Procore.
What can progress claim contacts add or update in Procore?
It depends on the Procore company account you are using and the permissions your Procore user account has been granted. Most Procore clients do not allow progress claim contacts to add or update data in Procore.
