How to connect Clio and Slack
Create a New Scenario to Connect Clio and Slack
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 Slack will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Clio or Slack, 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.

Authenticate Slack
Now, click the Slack node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Slack settings. Authentication allows you to use Slack through Latenode.
Configure the Clio and Slack Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Clio and Slack Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Clio, Slack, 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 Slack integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Clio and Slack (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 Slack
Clio + Google Calendar + Slack: When a new matter (case) is opened in Clio, a corresponding event is created in Google Calendar. A notification is then sent to a designated Slack channel to inform the legal team about the new case and calendar event.
Slack + Clio + Zoom: When a new message is posted in a Slack channel about a specific case (identified via keywords), a Zoom meeting is automatically created and the details (meeting link, etc.) are logged as a note in Clio for that matter.
