How to connect Motion and Clio
Create a New Scenario to Connect Motion and Clio
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 Motion, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Motion or Clio will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Motion or Clio, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Motion Node
Select the Motion node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Motion, 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 Motion and Clio integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Motion 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 Motion and Clio
Motion + Clio + Google Calendar: When a task is created or updated in Motion, create a corresponding calendar entry in Clio and then sync that entry to Google Calendar to ensure all meetings are centrally visible.
Clio + Motion + Slack: When a task is updated in Clio, create a corresponding task in Motion and notify the legal team about the update via Slack. This helps ensure the team is aware of changes and can manage tasks effectively.
