Automatically Sending Welcome Packets After Tax Document Completion

Written by:

Client Goal:
After clients complete their tax documents via Xodo Sign, send them a customized welcome email and checklist based on their tax category as well as collect payment — without lifting a finger.

🧩 The Problem

Once clients signed their documents, the business had to manually:

  • Review the submission,
  • Categorize the client (PAYG, ABN, or Tax Agent only),
  • Send follow-up emails and onboarding resources.

This added hours of admin time each week and left room for error.


⚙️ The Automated Workflow

Once a document is signed in Xodo Sign, this automation takes over:

  1. Xodo Sign Trigger:
    Detects the signed document event.
  2. Formatter by Zapier:
    Parses the client’s full name for personalized communication.
  3. Pinch Payments:
    Creates or updates the client record in their billing system.
  4. Paths Branching:
    Based on client type (Tax Agent, PAYG, or ABN), routes to the correct email sequence.
  5. Gmail Integration:
    Automatically sends:
    • A Business Checklist for Tax Agents,
    • A Pre-Approval Email and PAYG-specific email, or
    • A Pre-Approval Email and ABN-specific email.

🔄 Flow Snapshot

  • Tax Agent: Checklist sent via Gmail.

💡 Key Results

  • Admin Time Saved: 100+ hours annually.
  • Consistency: Every client receives the correct, branded onboarding material.
  • Client Experience: Improved trust and professionalism from immediate follow-up.
