Practical questions

Plan the connection around your firm.

Does a listed tool mean our account is already connected?

No. Each entry describes a connection method or a workflow to discuss. An account connection still requires your firm's authorization and configuration. Setup required, file workflow, calendar export and discuss your workflow labels identify different ways a tool can fit into the process.

Can our team keep documents in its current storage system?

For supported cloud connections, your team can work with selected files and folders through the configured browse, import or export workflow. Other providers may use a file handoff. Confirm the supported actions and destination for the storage account your firm uses.

Are Google Calendar and Outlook calendars synchronized automatically?

The listed calendar workflow exports a confirmed appointment through an Add to Google Calendar link or an .ics file for Outlook and other compatible calendars. It does not promise two-way calendar synchronization or automatic creation of video meetings.

What needs to be configured for email and signatures?

Email and signature workflows need the appropriate provider account, enabled service and authorized access. Confirm the mailbox or signing account, supported actions and responsible team members during setup. A provider listing does not enable those services for every firm.

Can accounting tools be used alongside tax preparation?

Accounting systems can be part of the document and financial-information workflow around a client engagement. Review the supported handoff for your system. An accounting-tool entry does not mean that every ledger, transaction or tax field is synchronized automatically.

What if our tool is not listed?

Tell us which tool your firm uses, the information you need to move and the action you want to complete. We will review whether an existing connection, a file workflow or a separately scoped integration fits that need.
