Clio

This integration allows Clio billing notifications, payment links, and appointment reminders to be sent via SMS. Customer conversations can also be instantly stored in the corresponding Clio contact’s Communications page.

All dashboards within your Text Request account can use this integration. For example, 10 lawyers could text from 10 unique dashboards under the same account. You just need an admin level user within both Text Request and Clio to set the integration up.

How do you enable contact conversation sync?

When this integration feature is live, all messages sent and received to your Text Request dashboards will sync with your Clio contacts.

Message sync starts with messages sent after the integration is turned on. Previous message history will not be included. Messages will only sync with contacts already existing in Clio. Any contacts that only exist within Text Request will need to be manually added to Clio before messages will sync with that contact.

To set it up:

1. Select Set up next to Contact Conversation Sync

 

2. A new window will appear asking you to select between syncing selected dashboards or all dashboards

3. If you selected “sync selected dashboards,” check the dashboards below that you prefer to be synced.

You can uncheck any dashboards that you no longer wish to have synced at any time by following these steps (without disconnecting the entire integration).

How do you disconnect this integration?

When you no longer wish to use the integration, you can disconnect it by following these steps:

1. Go to the Integrations section of your Text Request menu

2. Locate the Clio integration box underneath the Everyday Tools section

3. Select Settings within the Clio box

4. Select the "Delete integration" button on the new page that appears

5. A new window will open asking you to confirm that you’re sure you’d like to delete the integration

Once this integration is deleted, all message syncing, appointment notifications, and billing notifications will stop.

You can reconnect this integration at any time by following the set up instructions above.
