What is the LawVu add-in for Gmail?
The LawVu Gmail add-in is designed for people who work in Gmail and want to be able to save their email data into LawVu.
LawVu for Gmail enables you to work directly with LawVu from your existing Gmail-based workflow. It streamlines creating and updating legal matters by enabling you to import email content.
With LawVu for Gmail, you can:
Create new matters and contracts in LawVu directly from Gmail, seamlessly capturing content and file attachments from a Gmail message.
Track and save email threads as files in the 'Files' tab of new or existing matters.
