Troubleshooting

Common Issues & Solutions

Issue	Possible Solution
The Clio contact is not updating with the Legl results or documents.	Please check whether or not the integration is connected, either in the Integrations tab in Legl or the App integrations> My Integrations tab in Clio.
The business is not being searched for in the correct territory.	If a territory is not specified in Clio, Legl will default to searching the UK register. You can alter this either in Clio or Legl.
When I click more actions it is not automatically creating a contact in Legl.	Legl requires a first name, last name and email address to create a contact. Check that the contact in Clio has all of these fields.
