Import PMS matters into
Clio Operate in seconds
A secure, audited bridge between your PMS practice management system and Clio Operate. Preview, map, and import matters with full party data — no manual re-entry.
How it works
Search & Preview
Enter a PMS matter number. The portal fetches the matter, maps its fields and parties, and shows you a full dry-run preview — no data is written yet.
Review & Confirm
Inspect mapped matter attributes, work type, and all parties before committing. Idempotency checks prevent duplicate imports.
Import into Clio Operate
One click creates the Clio Operate work item, provisions ODS party entities, stamps you as contributor, and records the import in the audit log.
What gets imported
Every import creates or updates these Clio Operate objects.
Work Item
Matter title, reference, status, open/close dates, and work type.
ODS Parties
All PMS parties created as ODS entities with external reference tags.
Link Attributes
PMS matter ID, matter code, client ID, and client code stored as custom attributes.
Contributor Stamp
The importing user is added as a participant so the matter is visible in Clio Operate immediately.
Secure by design
- Authentication via Alterspective Identity (OIDC) — no shared passwords.
- Per-organisation credential isolation using runtime header injection.
- Import writes gated by an explicit per-org enable flag.
- Full import audit log with user, timestamp, and outcome.
- Idempotency check prevents duplicate Clio Operate work items.
