New client intake from form to TaxDome in one step

When a prospect submits the firm's online intake form, the agent checks TaxDome for an existing Contact to avoid duplicates, creates the Account and Contact if new, provisions a client folder in Google Drive, and posts a summary to the #new-clients Slack channel — the client is fully set up in the firm's systems before the onboarding call.

What your agent runs for you

  • Sales
    50 min / week
    Manual client record creation at intake

    Staff manually copies prospect details from the intake form into TaxDome, then re-enters the same data in HubSpot and the project management tool — 20–30 minutes of duplicate entry per new client.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Agent creates TaxDome records from every intake source automatically

    When a prospect submits a web form or is added to the CRM as Won, the agent creates the TaxDome Account and Contact, syncs to HubSpot, and notifies the team — no manual data entry before the first client call.

  • Marketing
    40 min / week
    Manual list export and import for client marketing

    Marketing staff exports a contact list from TaxDome, cleans it in a spreadsheet, and imports it into the email platform each week — a process prone to stale data and missing new clients.

    Marketing Agent
    0 min
    Agent syncs TaxDome contacts to marketing tools and sends automated reminders

    New and updated TaxDome contacts are synced to the email marketing platform daily; reminder campaigns are triggered automatically based on portal activity and filing stage.

  • Customer Support
    60 min / week
    Manual document follow-up and portal message monitoring

    Staff manually reviews outstanding document requests daily, drafts follow-up messages for each stalled client, and monitors the portal inbox to identify unanswered messages — a time-consuming daily task during peak season.

    Customer Support Agent
    0 min
    Agent automatically chases missing documents and answers portal status questions

    The agent identifies stalled document requests, sends follow-up portal messages within about a minute of the threshold being reached, and flags unanswered client messages to the assigned preparer.

  • Human Resources
    30 min / week
    Manual staff onboarding and reassignment tracking in TaxDome

    HR manually creates TaxDome records for new hires, informs relevant preparers of reassignments via email, and tracks capacity by counting jobs per preparer in TaxDome's interface.

    Human Resources Agent
    0 min
    Agent provisions TaxDome access and manages preparer assignments automatically

    New staff members have their TaxDome Contact created and onboarding checklist generated before their start date; preparer reassignments trigger automatic notifications to all affected parties.

  • Finance
    45 min / week
    Manual invoice creation and billing tracking

    Finance staff monitors the TaxDome pipeline for completed jobs, manually creates invoices for each, and maintains a calendar or spreadsheet to track which retainer clients need invoicing each month.

    Finance Agent
    0 min
    Agent creates invoices at job completion and sends monthly retainer invoices on schedule

    When a job is marked complete, the agent creates the invoice and notifies the client via portal message within minutes. Monthly retainer invoices go out on schedule without anyone monitoring billing dates.

  • Operations
    90 min / week
    Manual pipeline review and bottleneck identification

    Operations managers open TaxDome each morning, manually count jobs per stage, identify stalled returns, and compile a pipeline status update — a process that takes 30–45 minutes before the standup even starts.

    Operations Agent
    0 min
    Agent monitors the full pipeline and alerts on bottlenecks before deadlines hit

    Every Monday, the agent posts a full pipeline summary to Slack showing job counts per stage and flagged stalls; bottlenecks are identified and escalated without any manual pipeline review.

  • Legal
    35 min / week
    Manual engagement letter tracking and data retention audit

    Legal staff maintains a spreadsheet of unsigned engagement letters, manually sends follow-ups, and periodically audits TaxDome for accounts exceeding retention windows — a compliance risk if the manual review falls behind.

    Legal Agent
    0 min
    Agent tracks engagement letter signatures and data retention compliance automatically

    Unsigned engagement letters are chased weekly via portal message; deletion events are audit-logged; accounts exceeding data retention windows are flagged for review — all without manual compliance tracking.

FAQs

Questions about TaxDome + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to TaxDome?
Go to the Apps tab, find TaxDome, and click Connect. You will be prompted to enter an API key. In your TaxDome firm account, navigate to Settings → Integrations → API and generate a new API key. Paste it into Actionist and click Test connection — Actionist runs a read check to confirm the handshake. Once connected, your agents can create and update Accounts and Contacts in TaxDome, and receive webhook events when records change.
What TaxDome records can Actionist agents read and write?
Via the API connection, agents can create, update, find, and upsert both Account records (business clients) and Contact records (individual clients). The webhook triggers cover account and contact creation, updates, and deletions. Additional actions such as sending document requests, creating invoices, sending portal messages, checking portal access status, and listing pipeline jobs are available through the integration — giving agents meaningful reach into the core TaxDome workflow without requiring staff to log in.
Can Actionist agents send messages and document requests to my TaxDome clients?
Yes. Agents can send messages through TaxDome's secure client portal messaging system and dispatch document requests to clients at any point in the workflow. This means your agent can automatically follow up on outstanding documents after a set number of days, send invoice notifications when billing is created, or confirm to clients that their files have been received — all through the same portal your clients already use, without staff composing individual messages.
How does the TaxDome + Actionist integration handle duplicate clients?
Use Find or Create Account and Find or Create Contact instead of Create Account or Create Contact when an intake record could already exist in TaxDome. These upsert actions search for an existing match first — by email address or business name — and return the existing record if one is found, only creating a new record when none exists. This prevents duplicate Accounts and Contacts regardless of how many intake channels are feeding into TaxDome simultaneously.
When do TaxDome webhook triggers fire?
TaxDome's webhook triggers — New Account, New Contact, Update Account, Updated Contact, Delete Account, and Deleted Contact — fire within about a minute of the corresponding event occurring in TaxDome. They are not instant, but within about a minute is the reliable expectation for production use. If your workflow requires confirming a record before acting on a trigger, use a Find Account or Find Contact step immediately after the trigger to retrieve the latest record state.
Can I automate TaxDome billing and invoicing through Actionist?
Yes. The Create Invoice action lets your Finance Agent generate invoices at any trigger point — when a job is completed, when a monthly billing date is reached, or when a project milestone is logged in a connected tool. You can also combine this with Send Client Message to notify the client through the portal the moment the invoice is created, reducing the time between work completion and client payment.
Does Actionist work with TaxDome's client portal access controls?
Agents can check whether a client has activated their TaxDome portal access using the Get Client Portal Status action, and can send portal re-invitation messages to inactive clients. Actionist cannot directly set portal permissions or access levels — those remain under firm-admin control in TaxDome. But the combination of status checking and automated portal messaging means your agent can identify and follow up with clients who have not yet logged in, without staff manually auditing portal access.
What is the most common TaxDome workflow firms automate first with Actionist?
The highest-impact first automation is usually new client intake: when a prospect submits a web form or is added to the CRM, the agent automatically creates the TaxDome Account and Contact, sends the welcome portal message, and notifies the team in Slack — eliminating 20–30 minutes of manual data entry per new client. The second most common is the document collection chase: the agent sends automated follow-up document requests to clients who have not uploaded their files after a set number of days, which cuts the average document collection cycle significantly during tax season.
