Google and Microsoft Office Contact Sync

In Clio Manage, you can sync your contacts with your Google or Microsoft Office 365 account. These syncs will bring over all contacts in your Google or Microsoft accounts. You cannot select specific contacts. You do not need to use the same email address for the sync that you use to sign into your Clio account.

Important: If your firm shares a common contact list, only one firm user should sync contacts. If multiple users sync contacts, this can lead to duplicate contacts. And, if multiple users edit the same contact, information can be overwritten.

Tip: You can sync your Clio Grow contacts with Office 365 using Clio Manage and Clio Grow shared contacts. Once your Clio Manage and Clio Grow accounts are connected and you sync Office 365 with Clio Manage, your Clio Grow contacts will move to Office 365. Learn more about shared contacts here.

The contact sync with Google is a bi-directional sync for adding and editing contacts. This means that adding and editing contacts in Clio Manage will affect contacts in Google, and the other way around as well. If you delete contacts in Google, your contacts will NOT be deleted in Clio Manage. If you want to recover deleted contacts in Google, you will need to disable and re-enable the sync.
