Create activity and hours lists from matter logs

Automatically monitor new matter activity and time entries across Clio and Zapier. Create and update activity list entries and hours list entries when new matter activity, time entry added, or duration logged—so you can filter billable work, speed up billing review, and avoid manual billing prep.

How this automation streamlines billing review lists

When new matter activity arrives, billable work can get delayed and time entries can be misfiled. This automation triggers on Clio activity, filters for billable attorney and matter context, and appends activity and hours lists—so your team can review time faster.

  1. 1.Monitors new matter activity

    Integrate Clio and time entry mapping tools to trigger on new matter activity and capture duration, activity note, and matter context.
