Flowple + Clio Manage Integration Guide

Version 1.0 · April 2026 · Flowple, Inc. · calmintake.com

1. Overview

The Flowple–Clio integration connects your legal client onboarding workflow with Clio Manage, eliminating manual data entry. When a client completes onboarding through Flowple, their contact information, matter details, and approved documents sync directly to Clio.

What Syncs

Data	Direction	Details
Contacts	Flowple → Clio	First name, last name, email, phone. Deduplication by email.
Matters	Flowple → Clio	Title, case number, practice area mapping, client association.
Documents	Flowple → Clio	All approved onboarding documents uploaded to the Clio matter.
Matter Status	Clio → Flowple	Via webhooks. Open/Pending/Closed status updates.

2. Prerequisites

Flowple account on any paid plan (Solo $79/mo, Practice $189/mo, or Firm $459/mo)
Clio Manage account with API access (Boutique, Corporate, or Elite plan)
Firm Admin role in Flowple
Admin access in Clio

3. Setup Steps

Navigate to Settings → Integrations in your Flowple dashboard.

Click "Connect to Clio" on the Clio Manage card.

Sign in to Clio and authorize Flowple. Permissions requested: Matters (read/write), Contacts (read/write), Documents (read/write).

Verify the connection — the Clio card shows "Connected" with your account info.

Configure field mappings (optional) — map Flowple case types to Clio practice areas.

Enable auto-sync — toggle "Auto-sync on approval" to push data automatically.

Test with a manual sync — open any matter, click "Sync to Clio", verify in Clio.

4. Configuration Options

Setting	Default	Description
Auto-sync on approval	On	Push to Clio when documents are approved
Auto-sync on matter created	Off	Push to Clio when a new matter is created
Case type mappings	Built-in	Map Flowple case types to Clio practice areas

5. Security & Compliance

OAuth 2.0: Flowple never sees your Clio password. Access tokens are stored server-side, encrypted at rest.
TLS 1.2+: All data in transit is encrypted.
HIPAA: Flowple and Clio both support HIPAA compliance. Execute BAAs with both providers.
Audit Trail: Every sync operation is logged with timestamp, status, and error details.
Token Refresh: Automatic, 5 minutes before expiration.
Deauthorization: Disconnect from Flowple or revoke from Clio settings at any time.

6. Data Flow

Client completes onboarding → Firm reviews & approves → Flowple auto-syncs to Clio → Contact + Matter + Documents ready in Clio

Duplicate Detection: Flowple searches Clio contacts by email before creating new ones. If a match is found, the existing contact is linked.

7. Troubleshooting

Issue	Resolution
Connection shows inactive	Disconnect and reconnect Clio
Documents not appearing	Clio processes uploads asynchronously — wait 60 seconds
Wrong practice area	Update mapping in Settings → Integrations → Case Type Mappings
Duplicate contacts	Ensure client emails match between systems. Merge in Clio.
Sync fails with 429	Rate limited — wait a few minutes and retry
