How do I create a Questionnaire?
Our Questionnaire builder lets you easily create custom forms to gather client information—saving time and reducing errors. Use it for client intake, tax organizers, or other data collection needs.
You can create questionnaires from scratch or start with a pre-built template, customizing sections, questions, and file upload fields as needed.
How do I automatically rename documents using AI?
The Document Renaming AI identifies forms like W-2s, 1099s, and tax returns, applying your naming rules automatically to keep files organized and consistent.
You’ll enable document settings, define your naming convention, and use the Rename Files AI to rename and organize files in bulk.
How do I send a Questionnaire using a Secure link?
If a client’s original questionnaire link has expired or you need to send it to additional contacts, you can generate and send a secure link.
Clients can complete the questionnaire without logging into the portal, offering flexibility and convenience.
How do I pre-fill a Questionnaire using AI?
AI Questionnaire Pre-fill saves time by using data already in the client record—like contact info, notes, and uploaded documents—to automatically fill in responses.
This feature is available for new questionnaires created after enabling AI Pre-fill in Experimental Features.
Summary
Smart Intake combines AI-driven questionnaires, document checklists, and file renaming to eliminate manual work, standardize processes, and deliver a seamless client experience.
