Steps
Complete OAuth 2.0 authorization for your Clio Manage app and obtain an access token with calendar-entry read/write scope
POST to /api/v4/calendar_entries with a data object containing summary, start_at, end_at, and a calendar_owner object identifying the User or Calendar the entry belongs to
Do not include the matter association in the initial create call, since Clio's v4 API can return a 404 error when a matter is attached at creation time
PATCH the newly created calendar entry's id afterward to associate it with a matter, adding deposition location or process-serving/court-reporter details in the description field
GET /api/v4/calendar_entries/:id (or list with matter filters) to confirm the entry is correctly linked before relying on it for downstream reminders
Subscribe to Clio's webhook events for calendar entry updates if reschedules need to sync back into an external process-serving or court-reporting scheduling system
Known gotchas
Associating a matter during calendar entry creation is known to return a 404 — the workaround is to create the entry first, then PATCH the matter link on afterward
calendar_owner must reference a valid User or Calendar id/type combination; an incorrect type value fails validation without a very descriptive error
Clio's generic Calendar API has no special semantics for depositions or service deadlines — case number, opposing counsel, or assigned reporter/server has to be modeled in free-text fields like description since there is no dedicated deposition object type
