Exclusive Contact Association for Clio | Call Connector

Exclusive Contact Association

Exclusive Contact Association makes it so that events can only be logged if a matching contact exists in your connected app. Without a matching contact, the event is skipped.

This is currently available for Clio.

How it works

Normally, Clio doesn't require a contact to log a call or SMS. The event gets logged either way, with or without a linked contact.


When Exclusive Contact Association is on, that changes. If Call Connector can't find or create a contact for the external party, the event is not logged. This applies to calls, SMS, and faxes.

This works alongside Contact Creation. If Contact Creation is also on, Call Connector will still try to create a contact before giving up. But if Contact Creation is off and no existing contact matches, the event is dropped.

When to use this

Turn this on if you only want events logged for people who are already in your Clio contacts. It prevents logs from being created for unknown callers.


Default: off
