Hey all!

Trying to create a zap to integrate with Clio in order to make a custom field update automatically when a task is marked complete and I am getting an error:

Failed to create a matter in Clio

The app returned "NotFoundError"

I am trying to mimic the process seen here: 

 

The error occurs on that 4th step of the zap.

Thanks for the help!

If the custom field is not available to update as part of the Zap action for Clio Update Matter, then you may have to explore using the Clio API: https://docs.developers.clio.com/api-reference/

Hi @zeastFrim 

Good question.

We would need to see detailed screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured.

@zeastFrim 

You can save a Zap step and a Task by only using 1 Filter step with multiple conditions.

@zeastFrim 

Which field are you trying to update in Step 4?

 

The Matter field may expect a different value.

Check the dropdown list of options.

Each option has 2 value. (top/bottom)

The Matter field expects the bottom values.

 

 


@Troy Tessalone Hi Troy, I am also trying to replicate this workflow. The purpose of this zap is to update a Custom Field (matter stage) once a task in Clio is marked complete. The issue I’m also having with Step 4 is that the Zap is asking to specify a matter in Clio but I want (and I think this is what @zeastFrim is experiencing) is for this to apply to any matter with this task. How can this be accomplished? Thank you!

Hi @ECL Marketing 

Probably best to post your own topic with info and screenshots so it gets proper attention, thanks.

Sorry for taking so long to reply @Troy Tessalone 

 

The other user on the thread is correct. I want a custom field(Case Stage) to be updated on the matter.

It should update the matter that corresponds to the task that was marked complete, if that makes sense.
