Questions, answered

Will it email the new client on its own?

No. WebRun drafts the welcome email and paperwork checklist in Gmail and leaves them unsent. An advisor reviews both and clicks send, so the client's first impression is always approved by a person first.

What does it set up in Redtail?

It applies your existing new-client onboarding workflow to the contact and confirms the standard tasks are created and assigned, so every account opening follows the same checklist without anyone setting it up by hand.

Does it open accounts or submit any paperwork?

No. WebRun starts the internal workflow and drafts the client checklist. Opening accounts and submitting signed forms stays with your advisor and custodian, so nothing is filed without a person handling it.
