How Can I Automate a New Matter Intake From a Referral?
You automate referral intake by connecting a referral submission directly to a new matter record, carrying referrer and client details forward without manual re-entry. On Jestor, this runs through Forms connected to the case intake table.
A referral that arrives by phone or email, requiring someone to manually create the matter and track down referrer details separately, adds friction to what should be a straightforward handoff.
What manual referral intake costs
- Manual work creating a matter record and tracking down referrer details
- Delay between a referral arriving and the matter actually being opened
- Risk of losing track of who referred a specific client, affecting future credit
- Inconsistent capture of referral details depending on how the referral arrived
How automated referral intake works
- A referral form captures referrer and client details directly into intake
- The submission creates a new matter record automatically
- Referrer information stays connected to the matter for future reference
- No manual re-entry is needed between the referral and the opened matter
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Automated capture removes the manual work of creating a matter from scratch
- Referrer details stay connected, supporting accurate future relationship tracking
- Faster matter opening follows directly from the automated intake
- This scales from occasional referrals to a firm with a robust referral network
