    Integrations & Workflow Automation

    The average law firm uses 5-10 different software platforms—case management, document storage, accounting, communications, marketing, and more. When these systems don't talk to each other, your team wastes hours on duplicate data entry, manual status updates, and information hunting.

    We connect your technology ecosystem so information flows automatically between platforms. The result is less administrative work, fewer errors, and more time for billable activities. Research shows knowledge workers save an average of 10 hours per week when routine tasks are automated.

    Integration Capabilities

    From simple Zapier automations to complex custom API integrations, we have the expertise to connect your systems however they need to work together. Every integration is documented, monitored, and built for reliability.

    API Integrations & Custom Development

    Modern legal tech platforms expose APIs that enable powerful integrations, but building reliable connections requires expertise in authentication, rate limiting, error handling, and data mapping. We build production-grade integrations that hold up when vendors update their systems.

    Examples

    • Bi-directional case management sync
    • Custom client portal integrations
    • Court e-filing system connections
    • Accounting software integration

    Lead Workflow Automation

    Law firms spend significant time on lead management tasks that could be automated. We design intake workflows that capture leads from any source, qualify them against your criteria, route them to the right attorney, and nurture those who aren't ready—all automatically.

    Examples

    • Multi-source lead capture
    • Automated qualification scoring
    • Intelligent lead routing
    • Drip campaign automation

    Real-Time Data Synchronization

    Data silos kill productivity. When your CRM doesn't talk to your case management system, someone is entering data twice—and making mistakes. We implement sync solutions that keep your platforms aligned in real-time, eliminating duplicate entry and ensuring everyone works from the same truth.

    Examples

    • Contact sync across platforms
    • Calendar synchronization
    • Document metadata sync
    • Financial data reconciliation

    Zapier & Make (Integromat) Solutions

    As a Zapier partner, we leverage their 7,000+ pre-built connectors to create powerful no-code integrations. But knowing which triggers to use, how to handle errors, and how to structure multi-step workflows requires experience. We design and implement Zaps that are reliable, maintainable, and documented.

    Examples

    • Email-to-CRM automation
    • Form submission processing
    • Slack/Teams notifications
    • Report generation triggers

    VoIP & Communication Integration

    Modern legal practices need phone systems that integrate with their case management. We implement RingCentral, Dialpad, and other VoIP platforms with automatic call logging, click-to-dial from client records, and intelligent routing based on matter assignments.

    Examples

    • Click-to-dial integration
    • Automatic call logging
    • SMS/text integration
    • Voicemail transcription

    Event-Driven Automation

    The most powerful automations trigger based on events—a new lead submission, a case status change, a document signed. We design event-driven architectures that respond instantly to business events, executing complex workflows without manual intervention.

    Examples

    • New client onboarding workflows
    • Deadline-triggered reminders
    • Document generation on status change
    • Billing event notifications

    Real-World Integration Examples

    These are actual workflows we've implemented for law firms. Each one eliminates manual work, reduces errors, and frees your team to focus on high-value activities.

    Lead to Case Lifecycle

    When a lead fills out your intake form, the automation creates a contact in your CRM, assigns a follow-up task to your intake team, adds them to a nurture sequence, and—once retained—creates the matter in your case management system with all information pre-populated.

    Platforms:Lawmatics → Clio/Filevine
    Reduces intake processing time by 80%

    Omnichannel Communication Logging

    Every client touchpoint—emails, calls, texts, portal messages—automatically logs to the matter record. No more missing communications or wondering if someone followed up. Full communication history in one place for every team member.

    Platforms:RingCentral/Dialpad + Gmail/Outlook → Case Management
    Eliminates 4+ hours weekly of manual logging

    Document Assembly on Demand

    When a case reaches a specific phase, the system automatically generates the required documents using matter data, routes them for review, sends for e-signature, and files the executed copies—all without manual intervention.

    Platforms:Filevine → Clio Draft → DocuSign → Box/Google Drive
    Reduces document prep time by 70%

    Financial Synchronization

    Billable time, expenses, trust transactions, and payments sync between your practice management and accounting systems. Month-end reconciliation becomes a verification step instead of hours of manual data matching.

    Platforms:Clio/Filevine → QuickBooks/Xero
    Reduces billing errors by 90%
