I am new to Zapier so I thought I would start out with a “simple” zap.  I am trying to create a folder called communications every time a new matter is created in Clio.  I am not having any luck.  Can someone help me out with this?  I am hoping once I figure out what I am doing wrong that will help me when creating other zaps.  Thanks!

Hi @jlittle 

Good question.

To help us have more context, please post detailed screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured along with any encountered errors, thanks.

See link to the zap we created to create folders/subfolders based the Practice Area selected at the time that a new matter is created in Clio.

The link to the zap that I just posted, has one additional action in Xero. Each time a new matter is created in Clio, in addition to the auto population of folders and clio matter reference number, the Zap also creates a contact in Xero based on the label name selected by the user who created the new matter.  

When an expense is incurred on a matter, we enter the expense in both Clio for billing purposes and then in Xero for accounting...the expense entry in Xero is “assigned” to a contact (an Clio Matter).
