Connecting Your Amicus Attorney Calendar to Clientping

Connecting your Amicus Attorney calendar is simple. Once connected, Clientping will watch your calendar for upcoming appointments, send text message reminders, and allow your clients to confirm. Eliminate no-shows and take charge of your schedule!

1. Sync Amicus Attorney

You'll first need to replicate your Amicus Attorney calendar with a Google or Microsoft Outlook calendar. Doing this will keep your Amicus Attorney calendar 2-way synchronized with Google or Microsoft. Changes on your Amicus Attorney calendar will be reflected on the Google or Microsoft calendar, and vice versa. You don't need to login or use the calendar you sync to, this just allows Clientping to connect, monitor for appointments, and if you choose, update appointment title to reflect their status.

Once complete, go back to Clientping.

When a client declines, you'll receive an email at your notification email address with the contact details of the client and appointment so you can reschedule etc. If you'd like to change the time when reminders are sent, or change the text messages your clients receive, you can do so by clicking the "messages" menu item and the top center of the screen.
