Set Up Email Signatures and Templates

In Clio Manage, you can create an email signature and reusable email templates for emails sent from your own email address. Signatures and templates keep client correspondence consistent across bills, trust requests, and everyday messages. Templates with autofill fields automatically add matter and contact details to each email.

Note: Email signatures and templates require a connected sender email address. See Set Up Sender Email Address.

Your signature applies to the email types you select. You can apply it to the following emails sent from Clio Manage:

  • Emails sent with Email with Manage template
  • Bill share emails, individual and bulk
  • Trust request emails, individual and bulk
  • Outstanding balance emails, individual and bulk
  • Bill reminder emails, manual and automatic

Note: In the old Clio experience, Manage settings is Settings in the left navigation, and Inbox is labelled Communications.
