What is automated email billing for law firms?

Automated email billing uses software to convert client emails into billable time entries in your practice management system (Clio or MyCase). Instead of manually logging every email, Tempello reads your emails, matches them to the correct client matter, and creates accurate time entries automatically—capturing revenue you'd otherwise lose.

How does Tempello work with Clio and MyCase?

Tempello connects directly to your Clio or MyCase account and your email provider (Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace). It monitors incoming and outgoing client emails, matches them to existing matters using contacts, threads, and subject lines, then creates draft time entries in your practice management system for your review.

How much does Tempello cost?

Tempello charges $0.49 per matched email — meaning you only pay when an email is successfully matched to a client matter in Clio or MyCase. Internal emails, newsletters, and non-client messages are never charged. While attorneys may send and receive 150+ emails per day, only a fraction are billable client communications. For most attorneys, this works out to roughly $59–$79 per month — a fraction of the revenue Tempello recovers. There are no monthly fees, no setup costs, and no long-term contracts. Cancel anytime.

How long does it take to set up Tempello?

Setup takes about 2 minutes. You connect your email provider (Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace), link your Clio or MyCase account, set your billing preferences, and Tempello starts capturing billable emails automatically. No IT department or technical expertise required.

Is my client data secure with Tempello?

Yes. Tempello uses bank-level AES-256 encryption, SOC 2 compliant infrastructure, and never stores email content permanently. Data is processed in real-time and only billing metadata is retained. We comply with ABA ethical guidelines for legal technology.

Does Tempello work with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace?

Yes, Tempello integrates with both Microsoft 365 (Outlook) and Google Workspace (Gmail). It works with your existing email setup—no need to change email providers or modify how you send and receive emails.
