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

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Clio, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Clio or Google Sheets will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Clio or Google Sheets, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Clio Node
Select the Clio node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Clio, Google Sheets, 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 Clio and Google Sheets integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Clio and Google Sheets (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Clio and Google Sheets
Clio + Google Sheets + Slack: When a new matter is created in Clio, its details are added to a Google Sheet. A Slack message is then sent to a designated channel, notifying the team about the new matter and providing a link to the Google Sheet for easy access.
Google Sheets + Clio + Email: When a new row is added to a Google Sheet (containing client case data), a summary of the case is created as a note in Clio. This note is then emailed to the client using Clio's communication features and Email's Send Email action.
