Workflow context
When to use this workflow
Use as a supplemental client reminder only after the matter team verifies the court date, time, location, appearance type, arrival time, and attorney-approved preparation instructions. Follow all applicable formal notice and service procedures separately.
What this replaces
Replaces informal hearing reminders that can contain an outdated courtroom, incorrect appearance details, unreviewed preparation guidance, or an assumed arrival time.
Why teams standardize this email
A reviewed reminder keeps the verified appearance information together while making clear that an Outlook email does not establish, calculate, serve, or satisfy a court deadline or notice requirement.
What Toggles adds beyond a normal Outlook template
Toggles inserts the workflow directly in Outlook, prompts for variables, prepares operational details, and keeps the draft editable before sending.
- Fills the client and matter names
- Adds the verified court date, time, location, appearance type, and arrival time
- Includes the attorney-approved preparation notes and firm phone number
- Attaches the configured Court Appearance Instructions PDF
- Applies the configured court-date tag when the workflow starts
FAQ
Is this email sufficient legal notice of a court date?
No. It is a supplemental client reminder. The firm must follow the matter's formal notice, service, filing, and court-procedure requirements.
Does Toggles calculate the court date or arrival time?
No. The matter team enters details verified from the court and attorney instructions.
What should staff verify before sending?
Confirm the matter, date, time, time zone, courthouse and courtroom, appearance format, arrival instructions, preparation notes, attachment, recipients, and any later court change.
