Syncing contacts in Rocket Matter and LawTap

Contacts are synced automatically in both LawTap and Rocket Matter and there is no need to take any manual action in this regard. Specifically:

  • New LawTap appointment contacts are created as a Rocket Matter contact (if the contact does not already exist in Rocket Matter).
    This process is instantaneous and syncing happens automatically when the booking is finalized.

  • LawTap contacts automatically sync with Rocket Matter every two (2) hours.
    This is a two-way sync that checks that contacts in one system mirror the other.

Known Limitations

  • Rocket Matter does not support the E.164 international phone numbering plan format. This means that all phone numbers are assumed to be North American (USA and Canada) numbers.

  • Rocket Matter does not support ISO 3166 for international country names. This means if LawTap cannot automatically match a contact's country, the U.S.A. is used as the default.

  • Rocket Matter Task Due Dates may automatically be set as the previous day to the appointment for some time zones.
