Smarter Drafter’s Actionstep Matter Integration Is Here: Say Goodbye to Rekeying

Written by Smarter Drafter | Jul 22, 2025 1:31:15 PM

The new integration with Actionstep delivers a true two-way integration between your practice management system and your document automation platform.

Legal teams know the pain of rekeying data. Pulling client names from one system, entering matter details in another, copy-pasting the same transaction information into document templates—it’s inefficient, error-prone, and just plain frustrating.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce Actionstep Matter Integration for Smarter Drafter Pro.

Why It Matters

Smarter Drafter has always integrated with Actionstep to retrieve basic client contact details. But matter-specific data, like property addresses, key dates, and party information, has lived in a silo, forcing users to re-enter it manually each time they generated a document.

Now, with Actionstep Matter Integration, you can pull that structured matter data directly from Actionstep into your documents, and even create new matters in Actionstep straight from a Smarter Drafter form.

It’s the next step in our war on rekeying.

What You Can Do with Actionstep Matter Integration

  • Data Retrieval and Synchronisation: Access detailed client and matter data from Actionstep, including property information, transaction details, case-specific data, and more. All sourced from Actionstep’s Data Collections.
  • Field Mapping: Builders can map Actionstep fields to Smarter Drafter templates using a visual interface. Configure it once, and the whole firm benefits, no double-handling, no inconsistencies.
  • Automated Document Population: As forms are filled, Smarter Drafter pre-populates documents with Actionstep data, removing the need to re-enter details and significantly speeding up document creation.
  • Two-Way Data Update: Once a form is submitted, Smarter Drafter can push that data back, creating a new matter in Actionstep with pre-filled contact and matter details, and uploading the final documents to the matter file.
