News & Updates
Booking a consultation might seem like a small step in the client journey, but it’s often where momentum is either gained or lost. When scheduling feels smooth, clear, and personalized, it sets the tone for everything that follows.
This month’s Deep Dive webinar focused on how to use Lawmatics to streamline scheduling, reminders, payments, and event registrations. Hosted by Product Manager Devon Butler and Clare Struzzi, manager of the account management team at Lawmatics, the session covers everything from customizing availability to collecting payments through booking forms.
Time stamps of key takeaways
8:19 – Appointment scheduling options
Devon walks through how to set up your calendar, including working hours, buffer times, and rolling booking windows. She also explains the difference between general availability and appointment-specific settings. Clare clarifies how two-way sync works and when to use appointment-type-specific rules to better control your calendar.
21:51– Using appointments with forms
This section focuses on how clients book appointments through forms. Devon shows how to embed booking blocks in custom forms, with options like selecting hosts, adding additional attendees, and applying conditional logic. Clare shares examples of firms using location- or attorney-based fields to dynamically display the right booking options.
33:20 – Setting up confirmations and reminders
Next, Devon and Clare show how to create personalized confirmations and reminders using appointment-specific emails or texts. They walk through how to assign emails based on appointment type, location, or practice area, and explain when to use general messages vs. detailed ones with merged info like Zoom links or physical addresses. They also break down the differences between confirmation and reminder timing.
40:25 – Collecting payments for appointments
Devon demonstrates how to add payment fields to forms using LMPay, including setting fixed fees and applying conditional logic based on form answers.

Running a law firm means juggling a million moving pieces — marketing, client communication, team workflows, and of course, getting paid. Wouldn’t it be nice if more of that just... took care of itself? In our latest Deep Dive webinar, we shared some exciting new features designed to do just that.Your hosts, Lawmatics Product Manager Devon Roth and Sr. Director of Customer Success Johnny Bissell, walked through the newest and upcoming features designed to help law firms work more efficiently and drive growth. From enhanced marketing integrations to improved communication tools and smarter financial workflows, these updates are built to make a real impact on your firm’s success.
Time Stamps of Key Takeaways
9:00 — Google ads integration improvements
Google Ads integration has been enhanced to automatically import UTM values from your ad campaigns. This means that instead of manually tracking and entering UTM data, Lawmatics will now capture it automatically and sync it to your marketing sources. Additionally, Google Click IDs (GCLIDs) are now supported, allowing for more precise conversion tracking.For firms investing in Google Ads, this update eliminates the hassle of manually tracking ad performance. With automatic UTM imports and GCLID tracking, firms can send offline conversion data back to Google via Zapier, providing a clearer ROI picture for paid campaigns.
16:18 — MMS messaging
One of the most highly requested features, MMS messaging, is coming soon to Lawmatics! While firms have long been able to send and receive standard text messages, this new functionality allows clients to send images directly via text. This is particularly valuable for personal injury and family law firms, where clients frequently need to share accident photos, medical documents, or other case-related images.
23:25 — User activity reports
To enhance firm oversight and productivity tracking, Lawmatics is introducing User Activity Reports. These reports will log every action taken by every user, including emails sent, SMS activity, document shares, appointments scheduled, and more. With filtering options by user, action type, and date range, firms can quickly analyze performance, identify trends, and optimize workflows.
33:14 — Surcharging
For firms using LMPay Version 2, a new surcharging option allows firms to automatically add a 3% processing fee to credit card transactions. This helps firms offset processing costs without increasing service fees for all clients.

We know running a law firm means juggling a ton of software. And while each tool is supposed to make things easier, sometimes it feels like they just add more to your plate with duplicate data entry, wasted time, and clients who feel neglected.That’s exactly why we’d like to spotlight our Lawmatics integration with MyCase, one of the leading case management platforms. With this powerful connection, you can manage the entire client lifecycle — from initial inquiry to case resolution and beyond — without the hassle of manual data transfers.
What this integration does for you
Your team shouldn’t have to spend time manually copying client details from one system to another. Technology should lighten the administrative load, not add to it. By linking Lawmatics with MyCase, you get a frictionless transition from client intake to case management, ensuring a more efficient workflow and a better experience for both clients and your team.
A smooth connection from Lawmatics to MyCase
Lawmatics users can automatically or manually sync matters over to MyCase. Any records that have been created in Lawmatics as matters will be pushed into MyCase along with corresponding details like notes and files.

Activating the integration takes just moments. From there, you can define triggers that automatically transfer matter details to MyCase. For example, once a client signs an engagement agreement in Lawmatics, their case file can instantly sync to MyCase, keeping everything up to date without extra effort from your team.
Sync matter details and files automatically
When integrating MyCase with Lawmatics, you can map custom fields from Lawmatics to custom fields in MyCase. Plus, when a matter syncs or converts from Potential New Client to Hired, any files attached to the existing matter in Lawmatics will also move over to MyCase.

All of the manual work of making sure all details and relevant files get moved over to MyCase will be taken care of on the Lawmatics integration page.
How to integrate Lawmatics and MyCase
Already using both platforms? Setting up the integration is quick and easy. Just head to the integration settings page in Lawmatics, click the MyCase icon, and follow the simple connection steps. You’ll need your MyCase login credentials, so have those handy. For more information, please visit our Help Center.

Get started with Lawmatics + MyCase
If you’re a MyCase user looking for a better way to manage client intake, schedule a demo with Lawmatics today and see how our growth platform can take your firm to the next level.For more details on this and other Lawmatics integrations, check out our dedicated integrations page.
Running a law firm means juggling a lot of moving pieces — client communications, case details, marketing efforts, and scheduling, just to name a few. Without the right tools working together, things can get messy fast. That’s where Lawmatics integrations come in. Instead of wasting time on duplicate data entry or switching between disconnected platforms, you can automate key processes and keep everything in sync.In our latest Deep Dive Webinar, Lawmaticians Devon and Clare walked through how these integrations make day-to-day operations smoother, from keeping calendars updated to tracking marketing performance. Let’s break it down.
Time Stamps of Key Takeaways
0:00 — Why integrate?
Devon and Clare kick things off with an overview of how integrations generally work, and a glimpse at the full library of native Lawmatics integrations. They outline how integrations can really take the busywork out of your day to day, keeping everything in sync, from case management and marketing to client communication.
9:39 — User integrations
Devon and Clare dive into user integrations, which sync applications with Lawmatics for individual users within your firm. Email sync automatically logs client messages and attachments in Lawmatics, reducing inbox clutter and keeping communications organized. Calendar sync prevents scheduling conflicts by updating availability in real time. The Zoom integration ensures virtual meetings are seamless by generating and embedding links directly into invites. Since these are user-specific, each person needs to enable them individually, but once set up, they make day-to-day tasks far more efficient.
20:44 — Call integrations
Law firms handling high call volumes can track and manage inbound and outbound calls directly within Lawmatics. The RingCentral integration enables outbound calls directly from a matter, while also logging inbound calls for easy reference. CallRail takes tracking a step further by offering recorded call playback and marketing insights, allowing firms to analyze call performance.
28:23 — Case management integrations
Lawmatics integrates with leading case management platforms to ensure a smooth transition from intake to ongoing case work. Our hosts took a closer look at how Lawmatics syncs with Clio Manage, automatically transferring client and matter details, documents, and notes at the point of conversion. They also discuss some of the differences between our integrations with some of the other popular case management systems.
37:42 — Marketing integrations
Law firms need clear insights into where their best leads are coming from, and Lawmatics integrations make that easy. The Google Ads integration pulls campaign data and ad spend directly into Lawmatics, helping firms measure return on investment without jumping between platforms. (Devon also teased upcoming improvements to this integration!) CallRail plays a role here, too, by tracking call sources so firms know exactly which campaigns are driving inquiries.
41:00 — For everything else, there’s Zapier
When a direct integration isn’t available, Zapier fills the gap by connecting Lawmatics to thousands of additional applications. Whether linking with Calendly for scheduling, Google Sheets for tracking, or various case management and payment platforms, Zapier automations work like Lawmatics workflows — triggering actions to keep data in sync.Check out our entire catalogue of integrations at lawmatics.com/integrations.
Webinar slide deck
Big changes are here, and we couldn’t be more excited to share them with you! We decided there was no better way to start the year than by giving Lawmatics a refresh — one designed to make your experience smoother and more straightforward.This isn’t just a facelift; we made these updates based on extensive research into how our users access different features throughout their day. A new layout, smarter organization, and refined workflows mean you’ll spend less time clicking through menus and more time on revenue-generating tasks.
Welcome to the new navigation panel

The first thing you’ll notice is that the navigation bar has moved — from the top of the screen to a sleek sidebar on the left. Here’s what’s new:
- Simplified menu structure. We’ve grouped related tools and tabs to better reflect your workflow. Some of our previous groups were a bit broad, so we created labels that are more intuitive.
- Persistent access. Now, when you open a tab, it stays open, making it easier to navigate without losing your place. This update builds on the previous design by keeping key menus readily accessible as you work.
- Collapsible design. Prefer more screen space? Collapse the sidebar for a cleaner, distraction-free view — perfect for reviewing matters or data.
- One-click buttons. New navigation buttons now take you straight to frequently used pages in the app, like the Calendar and Dashboard, making it even easier to get where you need to go.
Automations and reminders

To make automation management and reminders more accessible, we’ve reorganized these tools into a centralized location. Your automation builds are now called Workflows, a name that better represents their function and simplifies navigation. This group now also consolidates all of your reminders, from forms to invoices, into one place. Now, instead of being spread across different features, reminders are all housed in a single hub, making them easier to track and manage than ever.
One marketing hub for client engagement

Your Marketing tab has been reimagined to create a seamless journey from initial contact to lasting engagement. Now, everything is structured to help you connect with potential clients, nurture relationships, and drive conversions in a way that feels natural and intuitive.
Emails
Start with Email Templates, where you can craft messages that resonate every time. Save your best-performing content and repurpose it effortlessly, ensuring consistency in your outreach. When it’s time to send, head to Email Sends, your go-to for delivering targeted messages to leads and existing clients with just a few clicks.
Audiences
To ensure your emails land with the right audience, the Audiences tab allows you to organize contacts into meaningful groups. A personal injury firm, for instance, might segment contacts by case type — auto accidents, slip-and-fall claims, or workplace injuries — so each message is hyper-relevant. This way, every email is not just sent but resonates with recipients, guiding them toward the next step in their legal journey.
Campaigns & event management
With your emails in motion, the Campaigns tab becomes your control center. Here, you can track performance, tweak messaging based on real-time insights, and optimize engagement. But what happens when an email sparks interest, and a lead wants to learn more? That’s where Event Management comes in. Whether it’s a live webinar, an educational lunch-and-learn, or an in-person networking event, you can manage registrations, track attendees, and follow up afterward. This keeps potential clients engaged and strengthens your connection with them before they even step into your office.By organizing the Marketing tab around the natural flow of client engagement, Lawmatics turns your outreach efforts into a well-oiled machine — attracting, nurturing, and converting leads with ease.
Contacts and matters

Most of the features previously found under the CRM group are now housed in the new People tab, the central hub for everything related to your clients. Here, you’ll find key details like contact information, company associations, and conflict checking.But managing client relationships isn’t just about storing information; it’s about meaningful engagement. That’s why we’ve also included tools that help you take action. For instance, after reviewing a client’s personal details, you may want to follow up with them directly. To make that next step as simple as possible, we’ve added a direct link to the Message Center under the People tab, allowing you to send an email without disrupting your workflow.
Documents and forms

The first change here is that we relabeled this group from Assets to Docs & Forms, your one-stop shop for information sharing. Emails have moved to the Marketing tab, while most other features remain in this section for easy access.To streamline navigation, we’ve separated some existing functions. Document Templates, for example, have their own page, and we’ve added a new E-Signatures section for you to monitor your document signing requests. While new e-signature documents can’t be created from this page, you can monitor when requests were sent and whether they’ve been completed.We applied this same approach further down in this section — File Request Templates and File Requests are now distinct, making it easier to manage each separately. You’ll also find Firm Files here, a central space for storing welcome packets, images, and other attachments you regularly use with clients.
Recap
The brand-new Lawmatics interface is about giving you a platform that works the way you do. Every one of these changes is based on user feedback and real-world usage patterns. We are pumped for how these upgrades will make your daily workflow even smoother and more efficient. And we’ve got even more updates planned — so stay tuned throughout the year!If you haven’t used Lawmatics yet and want a firsthand look at the platform, now is the perfect time to check it out. Get a fully personalized demo and see for yourself how we’ve built our platform with legal professionals like you in mind.
Kicking off the year with a bang, we’ve introduced a fresh, intuitive user interface built for you! From reorganizing your favorite tools to creating a more intuitive workflow, this redesign is designed to save you time and simplify your day-to-day. We know change can be exciting — and maybe a little daunting — which is why we couldn’t wait to walk you through the new Lawmatics interface. Let’s get straight into it.
Time Stamps of Key Takeaways
0:00 — Why the new look?
Your host, Lawmatics Product Manager Devon Roth, kicked things off with a walkthrough of why we’ve revamped the UI. This redesign is all about making things easier for you. We’ve streamlined the layout, made the interface more intuitive, and focused on functionality — so you can spend less time clicking and more time doing.
9:39 — New tabs on the side navigation
Dashboards, Matters, and Pipelines are now just a click away with new tabs on the side navigation — no more digging through menus! We also gave Dashboards its own special tab outside of the Lawmatics logo, so it’s quicker than ever to check in on your numbers.
12:58 — Automations and reminders reorganized
Our previous interface sometimes required users to hunt through different locations in the app to set reminders for specific moments in the client journey. But good news: You can now manage all your reminders in one place under the new Reminders tab. You'll also notice that all of your automations can now be found under the new Workflows subtab.
16:22 — Marketing made more intuitive
The new Marketing tab is organized to follow the flow of your campaigns, from building email templates to selecting audiences and launching your outreach. We also regrouped event management tools here since seminars and webinars are often key to attracting new clients. Previously, these tools were part of the CRM tab, but this update brings together all marketing-related features into one place.
27:43 — People at the center
Just like Marketing, the People tab includes features that were previously grouped under the old CRM heading. We’ve restructured and decluttered this section, making it easier to navigate. Whether you’re adding new contacts or updating existing ones, the streamlined layout helps you quickly find what you need.
29:09 — Docs & Forms
This tab is your one-stop shop for receiving and sharing information with your clients, whether it’s intake forms, e-signatures, or file requests. It’s also the home of other firm files that were previously grouped under the old Assets tab, like premade welcome packets for new clients.
32:13 — Q&A and recap
We left plenty of time to talk through questions about all the changes in the new interface. Devon touched on the Reports and Time & Billing tabs, which remain largely unchanged, and clarified where to find tools that might have moved. It’s a great segment to watch if you’re wondering, “Wait, where did that feature go?” We also shared tips to help you make the most of the updates and collected feedback for future improvements.
Webinar slide deck
For law firms, managing client data across multiple platforms has always been a headache. Entering details into multiple systems, making new typos at every turn, wasting precious time that could be better spent helping clients — juggling data like this is frustrating, inefficient, and frankly, risky.The good news? We’re continuing to build solutions to meet legal professionals where they are.Our recently announced integration with CARET Legal is designed to eliminate hassle, minimize risk, and save administrative hours that tend to add up.Watch the webinar below to see the integration in action, or keep reading for a full breakdown of how it works and what it means for your firm.
Why integrate with CARET Legal?
Transferring data from intake to case management systems is a time-sucking ordeal for most firms. This process pulls focus away from serving clients and generating revenue. In many law firms, this kind of data work is how nearly half of a lawyer’s non-billable time gets spent on administrative tasks.Every manual keystroke introduces a new chance for entry errors, omissions, and other costly mistakes. Data mishaps can have serious repercussions like miscommunication, erroneous invoices, and shaken client trust.By connecting our CRM to CARET Legal, we’re lifting this burden off law firms, while providing complete control over data management. With this integration, you’re not just streamlining your processes — you’re gaining peace of mind.
Seamless data transfer between systems
Forget fumbling between platforms and re-entering the same matter details over and over again. Our integration takes care of that for you. With just a few clicks — or a pre-set automation — your client data hops seamlessly from Lawmatics to CARET Legal. This instant sync keeps your information flowing from intake to case management, making those cumbersome transfer processes a relic of the past.

Here are your options for how to sync matters:
- Sync manually: When a matter is ready to sync to CARET Legal, just click on the “Sync to CARET” button on the top right of your screen and confirm your choice.
- Sync automatically: Set up an automation that triggers the matter to sync to CARET Legal upon the matter converting to a Hired status.
Maintain data integrity with confidence
The phrase “garbage in, garbage out” haunts every intake manager. And inconsistent data can spell trouble faster than you can remember how to spell “certiorari.” In fact, an ABA study found that administrative errors, like clerical errors and lost files, accounted for 23% of all malpractice claims a few years ago.But now, with this integration, you can rest easy knowing that data integrity is maintained at every step. With a simple transition from one stage to the next, you can be confident that your data is always clean, consistent, and accurate. Say goodbye to typos and discrepancies.

Save time on administrative hassle
Time is your most valuable resource, and every minute wasted on repetitive tasks is a minute you can’t dedicate to clients. The Lawmatics + CARET Legal integration takes tedious tasks off your plate, creating more time for clients and building your business. In a nutshell: more productivity, less busywork. Refocus those energies into client service or tasks that actually generate revenue.

3:55 — Attracting quality leads with precision
When it comes to client intake, precision is the name of the game. The self-styled ‘MacGuyver of Law Firms’ Patrick Patino shares how High Five Legal leverages the Lawbrokr integration with Lawmatics, in conjunction with Lawmatics custom forms, to ensure only the most qualified leads make their way to his desk. Think of it as a finely-tuned filter, separating the gold from the gravel.
14:30 — Nurturing leads and sealing the deal
Once the custom forms have filtered through qualified leads, it's time for automation to take over. Patrick showcases how Lawmatics automations keep leads engaged through timely follow-ups, personalized communication, and relevant content. This nurturing process ensures that leads stay warm and continue to move seamlessly through your pipeline, ultimately leading to that important final step — hiring your firm.
20:00 — Automatic engagement and data population
Shawnna presents the custom form her team uses to capture comprehensive client data and personalize the intake process. Once submitted, Lawmatics automatically generates and sends engagement agreements, streamlining the initial client onboarding. For clients still deciding, the system enrolls them into an email nurture campaign featuring informative videos and resources to guide their next steps.
28:26 — Phone intake and booking calendars
Shawnna hands things over to Jordan Douglas, the firm’s new client coordinator. She sheds light on features used by the intake team, beginning with an internal intake form used during phone consultations. One of Jordan's favorite features is the self-serve booking option on these forms, which helps set client expectations in real-time during the intake call regarding attorney availability. This form also includes fields essential for operations, such as referral source tracking and space for additional notes.
37:28 — Onboarding made excellent and efficient
Conti Moore dives into her process for onboarding clients after they’ve decided to hire the firm. It all starts with an automated fee agreement and extends to paying retainers, sending final onboarding forms, and generating invoices. This considered approach ensures a smooth onboarding experience for new clients who are still learning to trust their new attorneys.
48:56 — Adapting automations for client journeys
Conti is joined by Marko Skarica, a digital marketer and developer who helped set up the firm’s automations, who demonstrates how the firm can adapt and build new automations to accommodate every step toward retaining the firm — regardless of the client journey. For example, Conti Moore Law offers DIY courses for prospective clients who may not currently afford an attorney. These leads are supported with their own automated drip campaigns designed to transition them into paying clients should they later decide to hire an attorney.

With that in mind, the latest installment of our Deep Dive Webinar series showcases a fully automated workflow tailored for personal injury practices. Host and Lawmatics Product Manager, Devon Roth, demonstrates how to build and implement this workflow in your own practice to not only boost efficiency and reduce errors but also ensure that every client receives best-in-class care and support throughout their legal journey.

Assign roles based on appointment host
If the host can vary for each potential client’s appointment, you need accurate records of which team members were involved with each case. Our upgrade to the “Change Attributes” effortlessly automates this attribution record. With this feature, you can automatically update user fields to reflect the appointment host. Previously, assigning user roles, like Lead Attorney or Salesperson, based on the appointment host could only be done manually. This addition ensures that your user roles are accurately assigned, saving you time and reducing manual updates.

April Fools’ Day may have been last week, but these new features are no joke. We’ve got a trio of updates for managing your matters, calendars, and finances. You’ll also find some quality-of-life tweaks that’ll simplify things for our intake coordinators and office managers out there.
Filter and sort your table of matters
We've revamped our classic matter table for a smoother user experience. Now, you can place your important data front and center by creating custom filtered views of all your matters with any contact, company, or matter fields that exist in your Lawmatics account. Easily customize your views to match your workflow. Navigate to CRM > Matters to get started. More customization abilities coming soon!

Confirm availability for all staff appointments
Schedule consultations and follow-up meetings without fear of double-booking any of your team members. Previously, the calendar availability of other Lawmatics users at your firm could only be previewed when scheduling via a custom form. Now, users can check the availability of event hosts at their firm upon creating an appointment from anywhere in Lawmatics — whether it be on the calendar page, a matter’s page, or from the quick use menu. Coordinating staff calendars just got a whole lot easier.

Sophisticated financial tracking with custom transaction reports
Effortlessly analyze your firm’s financial health by mixing and matching the data you need. In addition to our existing invoice and time entry reports, you can now generate custom transaction reports. With customizable columns and filters, you can extract insights on line items like invoice numbers and payment methods that are as granular or broad as you need them to be. Plus, you can add these transaction reports to your custom dashboard should your firm need these numbers top of mind.
NOTE: This feature is only available to our Time & Billing users.

Send calendar invites on behalf of appointment host seamlessly
For those of you who set appointments for colleagues, you can now send calendar invites on behalf of the appointment host with greater ease, provided said host has their personal calendar (such as Google or Outlook) linked to Lawmatics. Previously, creating appointments for other users was done via the “Send Calendar Invite” toggle in the scheduling module and only if your personal Lawmatics user account had a calendar connected. This update means you can effortlessly dispatch invites on behalf of others without needing your personal calendar connected, simplifying your planning process and facilitating smoother coordination.

Create Zoom appointments on behalf of appointment host seamlessly
While we’re at it, you can now also set Zoom as the location when scheduling meetings for colleagues through Lawmatics, without requiring your personal user to be integrated with Zoom. The appointment host just needs to have Zoom linked to their own Lawmatics account. This update simplifies setting up video consultations and remote meetings, making coordination smooth for intake coordinators and office managers.
