Things your AI can do in Clio Manage

Your FormWise AI can handle any of these in Clio Manage — on its own, without you needing to click a button.

  • Assign Task Template List

    Assign one Clio task template list to a matter, creating its tasks with assignee notifications disabled. The action reads the current Matter ETag before the PATCH and does not retry a rejected write. Clio does not return guaranteed generated Task IDs or provide atomic undo; find and delete generated tasks separately if cleanup is needed. Requires Matters and Tasks access.

  • Create Activity

    Create a Clio time or expense activity. Requires Clio's Activities write permission.

  • Create Calendar

    Create a Clio custom calendar. Requires the Calendars write permission selected on the Clio developer application.

  • Create Calendar Entry

    Create a Clio calendar entry. Only internal Clio calendars can be attendees because Clio always emails contact attendees. Calendar notifications are disabled. Requires Clio's Calendars write permission.

  • Create Communication

    Record a phone or email communication in Clio. This creates a communication log; it does not place a call or send an email. Notification subscribers are intentionally unsupported. Requires Communications write permission in the Clio developer application.

  • Create Contact

    Create a Clio person or company, including new email addresses and phone numbers. A Company requires name; a Person requires first_name or last_name. Requires Clio's Contacts write permission.

  • Create Document Upload Initiation

    Create only the Clio document record and signed-upload initiation. This action does not upload bytes, follow signed destinations, finalize an upload, or create a version of an existing document. Upload without Clio OAuth, then use a separate finalization operation. Requires Documents write permission.

  • Create Document Template

    Upload one non-sensitive file directly to Clio's documented multipart route and create a document template suitable for START_DOCUMENT_FROM_TEMPLATE or GENERATE_DOCUMENT_FROM_TEMPLATE. Requires Documents write permission.

  • Create Matter

    Create a Clio matter for a client. Requires Clio's Matters write permission.

  • Create Matter Folder

    Create a subfolder inside a Clio Matter. Clio creates each Matter's root folder automatically; this action creates a child folder and always uses the supplied Matter as its parent. Requires Documents write permission.

  • Create Matter Note

    Create a note associated with a Clio Matter. The action fixes the note type to Matter and intentionally does not support notification subscribers. Requires Notes and Matter access in the Clio developer application.

  • Create Task

    Create a non-complete Clio task with assignee notifications disabled. To complete it safely, create it as pending and then call UPDATE_TASK with status complete. Requires Clio's Tasks write permission.

Show 81 more things it can do
  • Create Non-Empty Task Template List

    Create a Clio task-template list plus one to ten documented task templates, read it back to confirm it is non-empty, and clean up partial creation on failure. Templates are private, non-cascading, plain text, and have no reminders; this does not assign a list to a matter or notify assignees. Requires Tasks write permission.

  • Delete Activity

    Permanently delete one Clio time or expense activity by ID. Requires Clio's Activities write permission.

  • Delete Bill

    Permanently delete an owned Draft or Pending Approval bill after exact ID, number, ETag, state, ownership, and confirmation checks. Clio only accepts bills without recorded payments. Unpaid bills must use Void Bill. Requires Billing write permission.

  • Delete Calendar

    Permanently delete one manually created Clio calendar after verifying it is an owner-controlled AdhocCalendar. Built-in firm and user calendars are refused. This tool does not check whether the calendar contains entries, and Clio does not document whether deletion preserves, migrates, or deletes them. Requires Calendars write permission.

  • Delete Calendar Entry

    Permanently delete a non-recurring Clio calendar entry or an explicitly scoped recurring occurrence, future sequence, or series. Fails closed when Contact attendees exist because Clio would email them. Clio DELETE has no atomic ETag guard, so a concurrent attendee change after preflight remains a notification risk for non-recurring or series deletion. Requires Calendars write permission.

  • Delete Communication

    Permanently delete one recorded Clio communication after an exact-ID preflight and explicit confirmation. This does not notify subscribers. Requires Communications write permission.

  • Delete Contact

    Permanently delete one Clio contact by ID. Requires Clio's Contacts write permission.

  • Delete Document

    Move a Clio document to trash after an exact ID-and-name preflight and explicit confirmation. Clio permanently deletes trashed documents after 30 days. Requires Documents write permission.

  • Delete Document Template

    Permanently delete a Clio document template after an exact ID-and-filename preflight and explicit confirmation. Requires Documents write permission.

  • Delete Folder

    Move a non-root, unlocked Clio folder to trash after an exact ID-and-name preflight and explicit confirmation. Trashed folders are permanently deleted after 30 days. Requires Documents write permission.

  • Delete Matter

    Permanently delete one Clio matter by ID. Requires Clio's Matters write permission.

  • Delete Note

    Permanently delete one Clio note after an exact-ID preflight and explicit confirmation. This does not notify subscribers. Requires Notes write permission.

  • Delete Task

    Permanently delete one Clio task by ID. Requires Clio's Tasks write permission.

  • Delete Task Template List

    Permanently delete a Clio task-template list after an exact ID-and-name preflight and explicit confirmation. This does not assign tasks or send notifications. Requires Tasks write permission.

  • Download Document

    Download the latest or a specified Clio document version as a managed file. The runtime follows Clio's 303 with cross-host authorization stripping, so Clio OAuth is never sent to the signed download host. Requires Documents read permission.

  • Find Bill

    Exhaustively find Clio bills by exact client, matter, bill number, and state criteria. Provide client_id, matter_id, or invoice_number; state only narrows that lookup. All supplied criteria are combined with AND; duplicate exact bills are returned as ambiguous rather than selecting one. Requires Billing read permission on the Clio developer application.

  • Find Company Contact

    Exhaustively find exact Clio company contacts without choosing an arbitrary duplicate. Requires Contacts read permission.

  • Find Contact by Custom Field

    Validate a Clio Contact custom field, exhaustively search its exact typed value, and report duplicate ambiguity. Requires Custom Fields read and Contacts read permissions.

  • Find Matter

    Find by matter_id alone, or exhaustively search using display_number, description, or client_reference, optionally narrowed by client_id and status. All collection results are exact-filtered; multiple matches are reported as ambiguous. Requires Matters read permission.

  • Find Matter by Custom Field

    Validate a dynamic Matter custom field, exhaustively scan all exact provider candidates, and report zero, one, or every ambiguous exact match. Requires Custom Fields and Matters read permissions.

  • Find Newest Matter by Client Email

    Resolve exactly one contact by exact email, exhaust all of that client's matters, and select the greatest created_at with greatest ID as the tie-break. If any candidate lacks a valid created_at, return comparison_incomplete and do not select a newest matter. Requires Contacts and Matters read permissions.

  • Find or Create Company Contact

    Exhaustively preflight a Clio company identity using email or a complete custom-field ID/value pair, create only when absent, then postflight for races. Requires Contacts write and, when used, Custom Fields read permissions.

  • Find or Create Matter

    Choose either client_id or client_email, not both, plus client_reference or a complete custom-field ID/value pair. Resolve exactly one client, exhaustively find an exact matter identity, create only when absent, then repeat the exhaustive search to detect concurrent duplicates. Requires Matters write and relevant Contacts/Custom Fields access.

  • Find or Create Person Contact

    Exhaustively preflight a Clio person identity using email or a complete custom-field ID/value pair, create only when absent, then postflight for races. Requires Contacts write and, when used, Custom Fields read permissions.

  • Find Person Contact

    Exhaustively find exact Clio person contacts without choosing an arbitrary duplicate. Requires Contacts read permission.

  • Find User

    Find one Clio user using a single selector: user_id, email, or full name. enabled and include_co_counsel apply only to email or name searches. ID uses the documented single-user endpoint; email and name searches exhaust all id-ascending pages and report duplicate exact users as ambiguous. Requires Users read permission on the Clio developer application.

  • Generate Document From Template

    Create a Clio document automation, then poll its documented status endpoint within the caller's bounded interval and timeout. This creates a persistent automation and generated Documents; completed returns those documents, failed or empty returns that terminal outcome, and polling expiry returns still_pending with the automation ID and latest state so callers do not start a duplicate. Clio publishes no polling SLA. Requires Documents read/write access and access to the Matter and template.

  • Get Activity

  • Get Bill

    Get one Clio bill with its ETag, lifecycle state, permitted transitions, and concrete financial totals. Requires Billing read permission.

  • Preview Bill

    Render one Clio bill as HTML, cap the response at 2 MB, and offload it as a file instead of returning active HTML inline. This does not change or send the bill. Requires Billing read permission.

  • Search Activities

    Search and filter Clio activities, including multiple activity IDs, one page at a time. Use Get Activity for one known ID and full billing details. Requires Activities read permission in the Clio developer application.

    Search Clio calendar entries by time window, text, calendar, matter, or ID, one page at a time. Requires read access to the Calendars permission in the Clio developer application.

Requires Clio Documents write access and access to the Matter and template.

  • Update Calendar

    Update at least one of an existing Clio calendar's name, color, source, or visibility after reading its current ETag. Requires the Calendars write permission selected on the Clio developer application.

  • Update Calendar Entry

    Update at least one field on a Clio calendar entry without sending calendar notifications. Existing contact attendees cause the update to fail closed because Clio always emails them. Recurring updates require occurrence or series scope; future-series updates are unsupported. Requires Clio's Calendars write permission.

  • Update Communication

Questions other Clio Manage users had before signing up

Do I need to know how to code?

Not even a little. If you can use Clio Manage today, you can set this up. You'll connect Clio Manage, tell your AI what it should help with, and you're live. The whole thing is built for coaches, course creators, agencies, and operators — not engineers.

Will my clients know they're talking to an AI?

Only if you want them to. Your FormWise AI is trained on your voice, your offer, and the way you actually communicate — so it sounds like a thoughtful team member, not a clunky chatbot. Most people can't tell.

Can I make it sound like me?

Yes. You can give your AI examples of how you write, the questions you usually ask new clients, the way you handle objections, and the language you use about your offer. The more you give it, the more it sounds like you wrote it.

What if I want to take over a conversation?

You're always in control. You can step in at any point, take over from your AI, or stop it from sending messages until you've reviewed them. Think of it as a teammate, not a replacement.

Is my client data safe?

Yes. Your Clio Manage login and client information stay scoped to your workspace. We don't sell it, we don't share it, and we don't use your data to train anyone else's AI. You can disconnect Clio Manage or delete everything any time.

What happens when Clio Manage updates their app?

We handle it. When Clio Manage adds new features or changes how something works, we update the integration in the background. You don't have to do anything — your AI just keeps working.

How fast can I actually get this running?

Most people are up and running the same day they sign up. Connecting Clio Manage takes a few minutes. Teaching your AI to handle the work the way you'd want it done is the part worth slowing down for.

What is FormWise?

FormWise is the AI agent builder for coaches, course creators, and agencies. You connect the apps you already use — like Clio Manage — train your AI on your offer and voice, and let it handle the work you've been doing manually: onboarding, follow-ups, support, admin. No code, no developers, no engineering team required.

Can I sell AI agents to my clients?

Yes. A lot of FormWise users build AI assistants and sell them as part of their offer — done-for-you AI setups, white-label assistants for client businesses, custom GPTs trained on a client's brand. You can charge a setup fee, a monthly retainer, or both.

Can I embed my AI on my website or in my course?

Yes. Every AI you build in FormWise can be embedded on your site, dropped into your course platform, or shared as a standalone link. Your clients and students just open it like any other web page — no app to download, no login hoops.

Do I need to know anything about AI to use this?

No. If you can describe what you want your AI to do in plain English — "greet new clients, ask these 3 questions, book them a call" — FormWise can build it. We handle the models, the prompts, the connections. You handle the part you already know: what your business actually needs.
