What counts as urgent

You choose. Most businesses like yours pick:

  • A notice with a deadline
  • Anything else you choose

Urgent calls are marked Urgent in the email's subject line, and are texted to you once your texting registration is approved. On Professional, callers can be put through to you during your hours.

What it won't do for accounting and tax firms

  • It won't give tax advice.
  • It won't take Social Security numbers over the phone, if you add that rule (most firms do).
  • It won't make up answers about due dates; it answers only from what you give it.
