Automated Payroll Client Onboarding Intake

The moment a new client submits your onboarding form, WebRun reads their company details in Google Forms, creates the client shell in Payroll Relief with the EIN, state tax IDs, and pay schedule, checks DocuSign for the signed service agreement and direct deposit authorization, and drafts a Gmail welcome naming anything still needed.

In short

How do I turn a new client's onboarding form into a ready payroll setup?

The moment a new client submits your onboarding form, WebRun reads their company details in Google Forms, creates the client shell in Payroll Relief, and checks DocuSign for the signed service agreement and direct deposit authorization. It drafts a Gmail welcome naming anything still missing, so a new client moves from signup to a ready payroll setup without a manual checklist.

  • New clients move from signup to a ready setup without a manual checklist
  • Missing fields and unsigned documents are caught on day one
  • Welcome drafts are ready before your team even opens the submission

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it email the new client without me?

No. WebRun only drafts the welcome and missing items email in Gmail. You review it and send it yourself, nothing goes to a new client automatically.

Does it sign the service agreement for the client?

No. It only checks the signature status in DocuSign. Signing stays entirely with the client, WebRun never signs on anyone's behalf.

What if the client's form answers are incomplete?

It creates the client shell with whatever was submitted and flags every blank required field, so nothing silently gets skipped.

Put this on autopilot.
