Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Discourse, 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 Discourse and Clio integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Discourse 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 Discourse and Clio

Discourse + Slack + Clio: When a new topic is created on Discourse, a notification is sent to a Slack channel. This notification includes a link to the Discourse topic, and triggers the creation of a task in Clio for legal team assignment.

Clio + Discourse + Google Sheets: When a new matter is created in Clio, the associated details such as matter description and client information are used to create a new topic in Discourse. Simultaneously, these details are added to a Google Sheet for analytics and tracking discussion topics.
