Common Lookup List queries

Show expandable text

You can use the GoFileRoom Lookup List sync service to synchronise fields such as Client Name and Client Number (ID) with your time and billing software.

You can also assign clients to a staff in the time and billing software and sync this relationship information to make custom ClientFlow notifications, which notify the right staff when a client uploads a document to GoFileRoom.

You can use the following scripts to configure the Lookup List sync for different purposes.

If you add email fields to the Lookup List sync, you also need to add Lookup List fields.
