Smith.ai Now Integrates with Law Ruler

At Smith.ai, we continually strive to improve and expand our features to serve our clients better. Whether you need appointment scheduling, live transfers of priority calls, or just a friendly, North American-based receptionist to answer phones and form relationships with clients, Smith.ai has a solution. We understand that integration with your law firm’s software is essential, so we are happy to announce that Smith.ai now integrates with Law Ruler.

What is Law Ruler?

Law Ruler is powerful practice management software for law firms including critical features for casework and firm growth, most notably law firm CRM, client intake, and marketing automation solutions. Manage leads, clients, and cases more efficiently with a robust set of tools that include analytics, email campaigns, document automation, and much more. 

How the Smith.ai and Law Ruler integration works

When you connect Smith.ai with Law Ruler, all calls handled by Smith.ai’s receptionists will now appear in Law Ruler. With this integration, after every call, Smith.ai will:

• Create a new lead for callers that don’t exist in your Law Ruler account
• Match callers with existing contacts or leads that already exist in Law Ruler
• Add call details to the notes section of a (new or existing) contact or lead
• Add the call as an activity on the Law Ruler newsfeed

How will the integration between Smith.ai and Law Ruler improve my legal practice?

‍Combining Smith.ai and Law Ruler means greater firm efficiency. Every caller and conversation that Smith.ai handles for your firm is automatically added to LawRuler, ensuring your records are up-to-date 24/7, without any data entry work for you or your firm’s staff. 

‍With this integration, firm owners, attorneys, and paralegals can contact clients with confidence. Everyone in the firm with LawRuler access can see what work has already been completed on the call by reading the receptionists’ call notes. From there, you’ll be able to immediately identify and assign tasks for the next steps. Smith.ai’s integration with Law Ruler eliminates the need to manually enter every call as an activity, to constantly check email, and to monitor Slack and text messages for Smith.ai call notifications, saving time and energy.

‍Have peace of mind that you won’t miss a call when Smith.ai’s virtual receptionists are answering on behalf of your law practice. Convert more potential leads when our agents provide 24/7 call answering. Even outbound sales outreach calls are logged in LawRuler, further extending the integration’s benefits. Whether answering or making outbound calls, Smith.ai receptionists collect detailed contact information, prepare careful summary notes, qualify leads, schedule appointments, and much more. 

Turn new callers into strong leads with Smith.ai and Law Ruler. Combining Smith.ai’s inbound call answering service with Law Ruler’s marketing automation ensures your leads are properly pre-qualified, and you don’t miss out on prospective business from those callers who are identified as good potential clients for your firm. Fully automate your lead nurturing system from the first call when qualified leads handled by Smith.ai’s agents are added to email drip campaigns using Law Ruler’s suite of marketing automation features. You could even enlist Smith.ai’s outreach campaign services to place a sequence of outbound calls to leads who need consistent, professional follow-up.
