Clio Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about integrating Quilia with Clio for seamless case management and client communication.

14 questions

What is Clio for Clients?

Clio for Clients is Clio's client app: clients download it and sign in to message the firm, see shared documents and check calendar events. It shows what the firm shares with them.

Do I still need Quilia if my clients use Clio for Clients?

They work well together, and many firms run both. Clio for Clients is where clients see what the firm shares and message the team. Quilia reaches out: ℚ texts with each client about their own matter, collects what the case is missing and syncs it to the matter in Clio, with no app download or login required.

Does Quilia work with Clio?

Yes. Quilia connects with Clio to sync client communication, documents, and request responses into your case files. We handle the client side, so your team can stay focused.

How does Quilia enhance Clio's client portal?

Clio for Clients is a place clients can check. Quilia reaches out: it texts with each client about their own matter, reminds them about appointments and deadlines, collects the documents and signatures the case needs, and syncs it all back to Clio. Clients take part in their case without logging in to a portal.

Can Quilia sync with Clio's matter management?

Yes. Client messages, documents, appointments, and request responses sync to the right matter in Clio automatically. Everything is organized and accessible within your existing Clio workflow.

Does Quilia work with Clio's billing features?

Quilia doesn't handle billing. What it collects from clients (documents, signed forms, answers to your requests) lands in the Clio matter, so the file is complete when it is time to bill or close the case.

Can I use Quilia with Clio's mobile app?

Yes. Quilia works alongside Clio's mobile app. Your team can access everything through Clio's interface, while clients use Quilia's mobile app for engagement and updates.

How is Quilia different from Clio for Clients?

They complement each other. Clio for Clients gives clients a place to message the firm and see shared documents. Quilia adds the follow-through: automated reminders, case phase updates, and document and signature requests, by text or in the Quilia app, for every practice area.

Can I use Quilia if I already use Clio?

Yes. Quilia is built to work alongside Clio. Firms add it to their existing Clio setup for client follow-through, and every update syncs back to the Clio matter.

Does Clio for Clients follow up with clients?

Clio for Clients is built for clients to check in with the firm. Quilia adds the follow-up: it reminds clients about appointments, deadlines and missing documents (and, on injury cases, gaps in treatment), so nothing stalls the case. The two work side by side.

Does Clio have an API?

Yes, with approval. Developers apply for a Clio developer account, which goes through an application review ([Clio developer docs](https://docs.developers.clio.com/handbook/getting-started/get-a-developer-account/)). Quilia already connects to Clio, so there is nothing to build.

What integrations does Clio support?

Clio lists 300+ apps ([Clio pricing](https://www.clio.com/pricing/), October 2026); browse them in its [App Directory](https://www.clio.com/app-directory/). Quilia is one of them on your side: client messages, documents and request responses sync to the matter in Clio.

Can Clio text clients?

Yes. Clio Manage has two-way text messaging, which needs a toll-free number ([Clio help](https://help.clio.com/hc/en-us/articles/9125220988827-Text-Messaging-in-Clio-Manage)). Quilia works alongside it: ℚ texts with each client about their own matter, collects what the case needs and writes it into Clio.
