Create matter note when client CRM note appears

Automatically monitor new note created events in Lawmatics across legal intake workflows. Create and date matching matter notes in Clio so you can map note details, attach them to the correct case, and preserve privacy without manual triage.

How this automation creates case-ready matter notes

When new intake notes appear but no matter note is filed, teams lose time during review and case updates. This automation watches Lawmatics notes, looks up the matching matter, and creates dated matter notes in Clioβ€”so your team can reduce manual triage.
