Automated KashFlow VAT Deadline Reminders
WebRun checks KashFlow for your next VAT return due date, posts a countdown to Slack, and pings Telegram in the final days so the deadline never sneaks up on you.
How do I make sure I never miss a KashFlow VAT deadline?
WebRun checks KashFlow every morning for your current VAT period's due date and whether the return has been submitted. It posts a daily countdown to Slack while the return is outstanding, and once 3 days or fewer remain, it pings Telegram directly, so an unfiled VAT return never slips past its deadline unnoticed.
- A VAT deadline never arrives as a surprise
- Reminders stop automatically the moment you file
- Final days get a direct ping, not just a channel post
Built for UK small businesses · bookkeepers · accountants · sole traders

Questions, answered
Does it file the VAT return for me?
No. It only tracks the due date and submission status. Filing the return is still done by you or your accountant in KashFlow.
What if I file early?
The Slack countdown and Telegram ping both stop as soon as KashFlow shows the return submitted, so you won't get reminders for a return that's already filed.
Does it only cover VAT deadlines?
This template tracks the VAT return due date shown in KashFlow specifically. It reads the live period and status each morning.
