Create follow-up litigation tasks and entries when filing completes

Automatically monitor Clio task updates across eDiscovery & litigation support. Create follow-up work entries when filing completes, so you can track matter stages, add billing records, and schedule next steps without manual handoffs.

How this automation accelerates follow-up for matters

When filing completes but follow-up work is not triggered, matter owners can wait on manual handoffs. This automation maps the completed task, formats the due date, and creates expenses, updates the matter, and schedules jurisdiction-specific follow-ups—so your team can keep the timeline moving.

  1. 1.Detect completed filing task

    Integrate Clio to map the completed task to its matter reference, assignee reference, task name, and due date.
