Use cases / Tax Deadline Reminders

Clients deliver on time

The situation

The 10th of the month is closing in and half the documents are still missing. Your staff works through call lists and writes emails that go unread - and on filing day, half the firm is still at their desks well into the evening. Not because the work is hard, but because the paperwork is late once again.

How SmartChat solves it

SmartChat reminds your clients of every deadline on WhatsApp - advance VAT returns, filing dates, prepayments. With a 98% open rate, the message actually gets read, and the documents often come straight back as replies in the chat. On the Basic plan and up, the reminders run as an automation - your firm never chases paperwork by hand again.

Set up in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Connect your clients: they sign up once via double opt-in - GDPR-compliant, with no extra app or portal login.

  2. 2

    Set up your deadlines: create the recurring dates - VAT returns, payroll, year-end accounts - and assign each client their deadlines.

  3. 3

    Remind automatically: on the Basic plan and up, SmartChat sends the reminders on its own - your team just reviews what comes in.

FAQs

Are we even allowed to remind clients via WhatsApp?

Yes - your clients sign themselves up and confirm via double opt-in. That gives you GDPR-compliant proof of consent, and clients can unsubscribe at any time.

Our clients send documents by email - why switch?

Emails get buried, WhatsApp doesn't: a 98% open rate means the reminder actually arrives. Many clients take photos of their receipts anyway - in the chat, they just send the photo straight back as a reply.

How much work is the setup for the firm?

SmartChat is up and running in under 60 seconds. You create the deadline templates once, and after that they repeat month after month on their own.

What does it cost with several hundred clients?

Contacts are unlimited - whether you have 80 clients or 800 makes no difference to your plan. SmartChat starts at 299 euros a month, and Meta bills the WhatsApp fees directly with no markup.
