Email auto-filing to matters for small law firms
Small law firms need emails and calls filed to the right matter automatically.
Why it can work
- Firms without document systems struggle to file emails to matters.
- Current Outlook and MyCase integrations save wrong emails and duplicates.
- Staff log phone calls by hand, which is slow and error-prone.
Watch out
- Integrations with case software have repeatedly failed to match records.
- Firms may already accept manual filing as routine.

Auto-file client emails and calls to matters
When a small law firm receives emails and calls that belong to one or more client matters, paralegals need to file them to the correct matter automatically, so they can avoid manual dragging, duplicates, and mis-tagged records.
