Client Communication Log

When client communication lives in personal inboxes and individual call histories, no one has the full record on a matter. This automation logs emails, calls, meetings, and portal messages in the matter timeline so anyone stepping into the file can see what happened and when.

How It Works

01

Connect communication channels

Email, calendar, phone, and portal events are connected to the matter management system using client and matter references.

02

Match each touchpoint to the matter

The workflow uses sender, recipient, subject, and matter tags to attach each communication to the right case record.

03

Store a searchable timeline

Calls, meetings, and messages are added to a chronological matter view with timestamps and responsible staff members.

04

Flag long silence gaps

If a client has not heard from the firm within the expected service window, the system marks the matter for follow-up.

Key Benefits

  • Stops teams from hunting through separate inboxes for matter history
  • Makes handoffs easier when another attorney covers the file
  • Creates a cleaner record for service and compliance issues
  • Helps firms maintain communication standards by matter

In Practice

A client calls upset about a perceived lack of updates. The office manager opens the matter and immediately sees the last three emails, two calls, and a missed portal message, making it clear where the communication gap actually happened.
