Frequently Asked Questions about Clio + Google Drive integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Clio and Google Drive
How do I connect Clio to Google Drive?
Connecting Clio to Google Drive involves using our integration platform where you can set up 'zaps' – automated workflows from Clio to Google Drive. First, sign in to your Clio and Google Drive accounts, then choose the triggers and corresponding actions you want for seamless operation. Our system guides you through selecting when an event occurs in Clio (like creating a new matter) and the desired action in Google Drive (like creating a new folder).
Can I automatically back up documents in Clio with Google Drive?
Yes, by setting up an integration that triggers every time a document is uploaded in Clio, you can have the file automatically copied to a designated folder in Google Drive. This ensures that all your important legal documents are backed up without manual intervention.
Is it possible to sync client information from Clio to a spreadsheet in Google Drive?
Indeed, this is possible by establishing a trigger based on new client entries in Clio. Once set, our system can auto-populate specific fields into a designated spreadsheet within your Google Drive, maintaining real-time records.
What happens if I rename or move files within integrated folders between Clio and Google Drive?
Our integration currently does not track changes like renaming or moving files directly within integrated folders. This means you'll need to manually update or maintain organization separately once the files are transferred between platforms.
Can I limit which documents get synced between Clio and Google Drive?
Absolutely! During setup, you'll be presented with filtering options so you can specify particular criteria for syncing documents. For example, only sync settlement documents tagged as 'confidential,' ensuring only relevant files are shared across platforms.
How often does data sync between Clio and Google Drive once set up?
Once configured, data synchronization typically happens instantly as events occur based on your triggers and actions setup. You’ll see new updates reflected shortly after changes are made or items are added.
Can I trigger actions in Clio based on files saved or updated in Google Drive?
At present, our system primarily supports triggers originating from events in Clio rather than initiating automation based on changes within Google Drive. If this functionality changes, we will promptly update users.
