FIG. 8 — How the calendar mirror works

A deadline in AppColl,
on every phone, automatically.

Your attorneys dock deadlines in AppColl. From a docket report AppColl already exports — no API needed — DocketBridge mirrors them into Clio Calendar or Google Calendar, whichever your firm runs, so they reach every phone on the next sync. The mirror only ever runs one way. First the everyday routine, then watch it land on the phone.

FIG. 8a — A day in the life

One deadline, everywhere it's needed.

The only thing a person does each day is dock the deadline in AppColl, the way they always have. From a scheduled docket report — keyed by TaskID, never a login — DocketBridge writes it to the responsible attorney's calendar, one way, so it reaches their phone without anyone re-keying a thing. Set up once, each attorney is mapped to their own Clio or Google calendar.

    Matched by TaskID and routed to the responsible attorney's calendar: a new TaskID creates the event, a changed due date updates it in place, and a closed deadline cancels it — so re-running the same report never doubles up. One-way only: editing the calendar never changes AppColl.

    Now it's on every phone.

    The moment the event lands in Clio or Google Calendar, it syncs to every attorney's phone — no app to install, nothing to re-key. Watch the deadline surface on the phone below.

    FIG. 8c — What we need from AppColl

    One saved report. Six columns.

    The whole mirror runs off a single report from AppColl's Tasks module — a snapshot of open deadlines, delivered as CSV by email, SFTP, or a manual drop. These are the columns DocketBridge maps; every one already exists in AppColl.

    TaskIDThe key. Drives create / update / cancel, so re-running an overlapping report never duplicates an event.
    FinalDueDateor Respond ByThe deadline that lands on the calendar. Pick the date your firm treats as actionable.
    DeadlineTypeHard vs. soft — sets event priority and how early the reminders fire.
    Matter Attorneyor Task OwnerThe router. Sends the event to the right person's Clio or Google calendar.
    MatterNameTitles the event so it's recognizable at a glance on the phone.
    ClosedOn+ StatusMarks a deadline satisfied — the trigger to cancel its calendar event.

    One requirement that matters: the report is a full open-horizon snapshot (e.g. the next 90 days) — not "new since last run" — so a deadline removed in AppColl is cancelled on the calendar too.
