A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.
Connection
How it connects
Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.
Sign in with Clio and approve access (OAuth).
Settings
- Region
Kept safe
- Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
- They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
- Calls go only to the tool's own servers.
Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.
- 01
Ask about your Clio data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can find matters, get a matter or find contacts in Clio, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Let an agent update Clio
Have the agent open a matter or update a matter in Clio as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.
- 03
Share what it finds in Slack
Give one agent Clio and Slack: it can find matters in Clio and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
