Connecting to MyCase

To set up the Smith.ai integration in MyCase, your firm will need to have a Smith.ai account, and the person setting up the integration will need to be a MyCase admin user. You may reach out to [email protected] if you would like to verify your admin user(s) or need direction on how to change your admin user(s).
​
Go to Smith.ai's setup page to connect Smith.ai to MyCase. During the setup, you will receive a link from the team at Smith.ai where you will be asked to submit your username and password for authentication followed by a dialog box, detailing the permissions you are granting Smith.ai in MyCase (see screenshot below). Please use a computer when you receive your link from Smith.ai.

NOTE: Only 1 firm member needs to set up the integration to enable Smith.ai.

Once you have authorized Smith.ai, the setup is complete! Smith.ai will now be able to log calls in MyCase. If you would like to verify that the integration was successful, you can navigate to the Integrations & Apps page in MyCase, which can be found by clicking the cogwheel next to your name on the top right of the navigation screen.
​

The Smith.ai tile should now say "Installed" on the bottom right. The next call your firm gets through Smith.ai will be logged within the MyCase Call Log.

When Smith.ai takes a call, they will now be logged in the MyCase Call Log, which you can find via the Communications tab.
​

​
All new call logs will display "by Smith.ai Integration" in the Date/Time column and will be marked as "Unresolved" so that you don't miss any potential follow-up items.
​

The Type column will let you know if the call was incoming or outgoing. Any important details and notes pertaining to the call will be left in the Message column.
​
​

​

Once you are ready to take action on a call log, you can:

​
​NOTE: Archiving a user who originally integrated the Smith.ai account may break the integration. Please remove the integration first, have a different admin user reintegrate Smith.ai with MyCase, and then archive the user.

Once a call log has been created by Smith.ai, you will see a person icon to the right of the caller name that allows you to add/link a contact or lead to the call log.
​

Clicking the person icon brings up the form below. You can create a new contact, a new lead, or attach the log to an existing person in MyCase. Choosing to create a contact or lead will bring up the standard "Add Contact" or "Add Lead" modal. Once you're finished, click "OK."
​

The call log will now show the caller name in a different color to show that it is linked, and the person icon is no longer visible. That is it! Now a call is attached to a contact or lead in MyCase!
​

Smith.ai's virtual receptionist can now create leads by using the "Contact Us" form. The form can be found by going to "Settings" and selecting "Intake Forms" on the left hand side of the page.

The Contact Us form is a prebuilt, customizable form available for every firm. It will be the very first form available on the intake forms page.
​
​

​

You can customize which fields appear on the form by clicking the pencil icon (see image above). Make sure to save your edits, and once the form fits your needs, copy the link to the form by clicking the 2 linked chain icon (i.e. the left icon in the image above) and send it to [email protected]. Using the form link, Smith.ai will automatically be able to create leads in MyCase for you.
​
For more information about how the Contact Us form works and creates leads, check out the Contact Us Form help page.
​
For more information or questions related to Smith.ai using the contact us form, please reach out to [email protected].
​NOTE: If you use the Contact Us form on your website, changing the fields for Smith.ai would also change the fields on your website Contact Us form.

Removing the Integration

If for any reason you no longer wish to use the integration, you can go back to the Integrations page, scroll until you see the Smith.ai tile, and click "Remove" on the bottom right of the tile.
​
