What is it that makes Communicate so secure?

Multi-factor authentication

Communicate is protected by multifactor authentication so that only the intended recipient can see messages.

Encryption

Messages are encrypted while in transit.

Communicate from anywhere

Communicate mobile app available free for IOS and Android devices makes it easy to access information or message anywhere, any time.  You or your clients can:

  • Receive real time notifications when something has been updated
  • Upload pictures and files from your phone
  • Message in real time

Correspond and collaborate internally

When Smokeball users started using Communicate for secure file sharing and messaging with their clients, they immediately saw the value in utilising a similar tool in-house. Collaborating and corresponding with your colleagues via phone, email and verbally is inconsistent, time-consuming and difficult to obtain all the information you require.​

In response, we developed Communicate Direct Messages, Internal Matter Conversations and Channels. These features were designed specifically to enhance internal law firm communication and collaboration.

With Communicate Direct Messages you receive the benefit of user-friendly conversational style messaging through the same secure platform that you correspond with your clients. Internal Matter Conversations give you the ability to correspond in relation to a specific matter. Communicate Channels are a great way to create a group conversation with your staff in relation to key topics like firm policies & procedures, coffee club or social committee.

FAQs

Why are digital intake forms better?

Digital intake forms offer several advantages over paper-based forms or manual intake processes.

Here’s why they are better:

1. Efficiency and time savings

  • Clients complete structured intake forms at their convenience, ensuring all mandatory fields are filled. This eliminates the need to chase missing information and reduces back-and-forth communication.
  • Data is instantly captured and stored in Smokeball, eliminating manual data entry and errors

2. Accuracy and reduced errors

  • Digital forms ensure required fields are completed, preventing missing or incomplete information.
  • Formatting for data such as dates or addresses are standardised
  • No more time wasted deciphering handwriting or badly scanned documents

3. Better client experience

Clients can submit information from anywhere, anytime, on any device.

For law firms, switching to digital intake forms is a no-brainer— it speeds up client onboarding, reduces administrative work, and delivers a professional, modern experience.
