How do I onboard a new accounting client automatically?

When a new client is added in TaxDome, WebRun opens their account, sets up the firm's standard onboarding tasks, and assigns the preparer. It drafts a warm welcome email and a first document request in Gmail, leaves both unsent for review, and posts the team a Slack note, so every new client starts cleanly without manual setup.

  • Every new client starts with tasks set and a welcome drafted the same day
  • Onboarding stops depending on whoever has time to set it up
  • The first document request goes out early, so work can start sooner

Questions, answered

Will it email the new client without me?

No. WebRun drafts both the welcome email and the first document request in Gmail and leaves them unsent. A preparer reviews and sends them, so nothing reaches a new client without a person approving it first.

What does it set up in TaxDome?

It applies your firm's standard onboarding tasks to the new client's account and assigns the preparer, mirroring the checklist you already use, so every client starts the same clean way.

Can it match our firm's welcome tone?

Yes. Give WebRun a sample welcome and a note on tone, and it drafts the email and the first request in your firm's voice, naming the client and the exact documents to upload first.

Put this on autopilot.
