Instant quotes
Some markets quote through their own systems. POST /submissions/{id}/instant-quotes asks the connected markets that fit the file.
What happens depends on Valjean’s setting:
| Setting | Response | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| A broker approves each ask | status: "pending" |
The ask appears on the file; nothing goes to a carrier until a broker approves |
| Automatic | status: "done", results[] |
Connected markets are asked at once |
| Off | 403 not_offered |
Your broker markets the file as usual |
Either way the file has to be ready and pass Valjean’s rules (a signed agreement, a complete file, and any approval rules), and a price reaches you only once it’s presented. In automatic mode a result’s outcome is quoted, referred, declined, error, or blocked when a rule stopped it; a quoted result carries the quote only if it could be presented to you at once.
When no connected market fits you get 409 no_instant_market, and your broker markets the file as usual. A file that is already quoted or closed returns 409 not_open.
