How to connect Circle and Clio
Create a New Scenario to Connect Circle and Clio
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step

Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Circle, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Circle or Clio will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Circle or Clio, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Circle, Clio, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Circle and Clio integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Circle and Clio (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Circle and Clio
Circle + Clio + Slack: When a new member joins a Circle community, their information is checked in Clio to see if legal document review is required. If so, a message is sent to a designated Slack channel.
Clio + Circle + Google Calendar: When a new calendar entry (court date or deadline) is created in Clio, an event is created in Circle to inform the community. This event is also added to Google Calendar to improve visibility.
