Most powerful ways to connect Microsoft Outlook and Clio
Clio + Microsoft Outlook + Google Calendar: When a new Calendar Entry is created in Clio, the automation checks for a related email in Outlook. If found, it creates a corresponding event in Google Calendar, populating it with relevant details from both Clio and the email.
Clio + Microsoft Outlook + Slack: When a new bill is generated in Clio, the automation finds the client's related email in Outlook. It then sends a Slack notification to a specified channel, including the bill details and client information retrieved from both Clio and Outlook.
