Gemini How It Works
Here is what actually happens: your AI agent reads Clio activities for the billing period , every time entry with the matter name, description, hours, and billing rate.
It groups entries by matter and client. For the Santos divorce: 14.5 hours across 8 activities at $300/hr = $4,350.
The agent then creates a LawPay invoice with itemized line descriptions, the total amount, and the correct payment account (trust account for retainer replenishment, operating account for earned fees).
LawPay generates a secure payment link. The agent sends a Brevo email to the client: 'Ms. Santos , your June statement is ready.
Total: $4,350 for 14.5 hours. Click here to pay securely.' The client clicks, pays by card or bank transfer, and the transaction appears in LawPay.
No PDF attachments. No checks in the mail. No 60-day receivables.
Connector Orchestration: 3 Connectors, one intelligent agent
Connect Clio, LawPay and Brevo Connectors so your AI agent reads billable activities and matter details from Clio, creates client invoices in LawPay with the correct trust or operating account, and sends a professional payment notification via Brevo email. Attorneys who dread month-end billing get a system that turns tracked time into paid invoices in minutes. Works for US firms using LawPay's trust-compliant payment processing.

Superpowers you didn't know your AI had
The Vinkius catalog gives your agent access to 5,800+ Connectors and the intelligence to combine them. Imagine never logging into another dashboard. Your AI handles the work across all tools, in one conversation. That's what this connectivity layer was built for.
Cross-Platform Intelligence
Your agent doesn't just connect to tools. It understands the relationships between them. Data flows where it needs to go, automatically, with full context preserved across all platforms.
Contextual Reasoning
Each decision your agent makes considers the full picture. It reads CRM data, checks calendars, reviews conversation history, and acts on everything at once. Not step by step. All at once.
Productivity at Scale
What used to take 45 minutes across five different dashboards now takes one sentence. Your agent runs the entire workflow end to end while you focus on decisions that actually matter.
Zero-Config Reliability
No API keys to paste. No webhooks to configure. No YAML to debug. Connect your Connectors once, and your agent handles the rest. Each time, without intervention.
Made for
exactly this
Your AI agent taps into the entire Vinkius AI Connectors to handle these for you. You describe what you need. It does the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Connector Orchestration
Which Connectors do I need for this workflow?
Three: Clio, LawPay and Brevo. Connect all three to your AI client before running any prompt from this page.
Does this work with Claude Desktop, Cursor or Windsurf?
Yes. Any AI client that supports the Model Context Protocol works , Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline and others. Connect the Connectors and use any prompt.
Does LawPay handle trust account separation?
Yes. LawPay is designed for law firms , it separates trust (IOLTA) and operating accounts. Specify in your prompt which matters bill to trust and which bill to operating. The agent routes each invoice correctly.
Can I send invoices for only one client or matter?
Your prompt controls the scope. Ask for 'unbilled activities for the Santos matter only' or 'all matters in the Family Law practice area.' The agent processes exactly what you specify.
Is my financial and client data secure?
Connectors authenticate through API keys or OAuth. Your agent only accesses Clio activities, LawPay invoices and Brevo contacts you have granted access to. Vinkius does not store your data. LawPay is PCI-compliant for payment processing.
Does this replace my billing software?
It connects your billing software. Clio tracks time, LawPay processes payments, Brevo delivers the notification. This workflow is the bridge that turns tracked hours into collected revenue.
