Blueprint

intake.link Law Firm Intake Sprint (7-10 days)

Agencies configure intake.link's branded one-link flow (form, e-signature, Stripe payment) for small and mid-size US law firms, cutting client intake from 2.5 hours to under 10 minutes and wiring completed intakes into Clio, PracticePanther, or a webhook.

Prerequisites
  • Signed client engagement with a solo or 2 to 5 attorney firm in a high-volume practice area such as Personal Injury or Family Law
  • Client's Stripe account access for Stripe Connect payment collection, plus the retainer amount and any minimum fee terms
  • Existing retainer agreement and intake question set, mapped to practice-area fields before form build begins
  • Admin access to the client's CRM (Clio, PracticePanther, or a spreadsheet) to receive webhook payloads
  • Agency intake.link account on Pro ($99/mo) or Enterprise ($299/mo) so e-signature volume and webhooks are available during the build
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Audit the firm's current intake path and count where prospects drop between first call, paperwork, and payment
  • 2.Map each intake question to a field in intake.link's drag-and-drop form builder, flagging conditional logic branches for practice-area screening
  • 3.Confirm the retainer amount, deposit rules, and Stripe Connect payout account with the client
  • 1.Build the branded intake form at firmname.intake.link with practice-area fields and conditional logic
  • 2.Place the e-signature block (DocuSeal) at the point in the flow where the retainer agreement is signed
  • 3.Draft the confirmation email copy that fires on submission
  • 1.Connect Stripe payment collection and test a live transaction, noting the 1% plus $25 minimum fee on the Free tier versus Pro terms
  • 2.Run a full one-link test: form, then sign, then pay, on a mobile device
  • 3.Fix field ordering and any conditional logic dead ends found in the test
  • 1.Configure the webhook to push completed intakes into the client's CRM or spreadsheet
  • 2.Map form fields to CRM fields so no manual re-entry is needed
  • 3.Test the webhook payload end to end with a dummy submission
  • 1.Build the automated email confirmation sequence triggered on form submission
  • 2.Set up SMS or email delivery of the intake link for staff to send at first contact
  • 3.Verify e-signature limits against the plan tier (5/mo on Free, 25 with Stripe, 50/mo on Pro)
  • 1.Train front-desk and paralegal staff on sending the link and reading submission history
  • 2.Document the fallback path for clients who cannot complete the link in one session
  • 3.Walk the client through the admin view and submission history
  • 1.Run three real prospect intakes through the live link under staff supervision
  • 2.Log time-to-completion per intake against the 2.5 hour baseline
  • 3.Collect staff friction notes on form wording and payment step
  • 1.Tune form copy and field order based on the first live intakes
  • 2.Confirm CRM records created by webhook match the source submissions
  • 3.Set up a weekly review of submission history for the first month
  • 1.Deliver the intake workflow documentation and staff training recording
  • 2.Hand over the branded link and confirmation sequence to the client
  • 3.Agree the monthly check-in cadence for the retainer
  • 1.Review first-week completion times and drop-off points with the client
  • 2.Adjust conditional logic or payment step if drop-off appears
  • 3.Close the sprint with a written before-and-after intake time comparison
$99 to $299 per month for the agency's intake.link plan, plus $399/mo client retainer for the Solo Firm Starter offer; Stripe transactions carry a 1% fee with a $25 minimum on the Free tier7-10 days
ROI Logic

The agency pays $99/mo on Pro or $299/mo on Enterprise and bills the Solo Firm Starter at $399/mo, so a single client covers the Pro plan roughly four times over. Setup effort lands near 10 hours plus about 2 hours per month of maintenance, which keeps delivery margin high on a retainer that replaces a 2.5 hour manual intake with a sub-10-minute link.

Deliverables
  • Configured branded intake.link form at firmname.intake.link with practice-area fields, conditional logic, and e-signature block
  • Live Stripe Connect payment collection tested end to end with retainer amount and fee terms documented
  • Webhook mapping that pushes completed intakes into Clio, PracticePanther, or the client's spreadsheet
  • Automated email confirmation sequence triggered on form submission
  • Intake workflow documentation, staff training recording, and a before-and-after intake time comparison
Definition of Done

The firm sends one intake.link URL to a live prospect who completes the form, signs the retainer, and pays the deposit in a single session, with the record appearing in the client's CRM via webhook and total time logged under 10 minutes.
