In Clio Grow, you can view leads coming in from third-party integrations, from any integrations that you built, and from appointments booked through your firm's Clio Scheduler booking link. When leads come in, you can review them before adding them as contacts and/or matters, or you can delete them.
Set up leads
To get started with receiving leads, you need to connect your Clio Grow account to a third-party integration using your unique lead capture token. When a lead is submitted to Clio Grow from a third-party source, the lead will be created in the Leads tab. Follow the steps below to access your Clio Grow lead capture token.
- Go to Settings > Integrations.
- Scroll down to Lead capture.
- Under Lead capture token, click Copy.
- Use this token to connect your Clio Grow account to a third-party integration.
Enable lead notifications
You can choose to receive email notifications when a new lead is added to your account. To enable or disable this setting:
- Go to Settings > Personal.
- Scroll down to Notification settings.
- Check or uncheck the box for Email me when a new lead is added to the inbox.
Add, ignore, restore, and delete marketing leads
Marketing leads are leads added to your Clio Grow account through third-party marketing integrations or marketing channels. You can can intake a marketing lead by adding it as a contact only or use quick intake to add the lead as a contact and a matter, if the lead is a potential client. You can also ignore the lead.

Lead capture API endpoint
If you create your own integration, you can connect it to your Clio Grow account using Clio’s API endpoint, which lets you submit leads into Clio Grow via a web form or other source using a POST request in JSON format. The POST URL is:
https://eu.grow.clio.com/inbox_leads
There are five basic data fields, two URL/source parameters to track the source of the lead, and an API authorization token that connects the request to the appropriate user’s account in Clio Grow. See below for this information.
POST fields
- First name (required)
- Last name (required)
- Email (optional)
- Phone number (optional)
- Message (required)
URL and source
These should be hidden fields on a web form and are both required:
- Referral URL: intended to be the URL of the webpage where the lead was submitted. You can pass in some static text.
- Source: intended to be the name of the service submitting the lead. This will be used to identify the source and distinguish it from any other integrations.
API token
This should be a hidden field if you are submitting the lead from a web form. It is by itself in the JSON object with the parameter name “inbox_lead_token.” Use your inbox token to connect the account.
Important: You need to add an “Accept” header of “application/JSON” to accept a JSON response. You should receive a 201-response message with the JSON parameters of the lead that was created in Clio Grow.
Note: All message field data will be created as a note in Clio Grow. You can add additional web form fields as part of the “from_message” by separating them using the straight slash symbol. For example: “from_message” : “field 1: | field 2: | field 3”,
