Step-by-Step Troubleshooting:

  1. Check if the Contact is Connected

    • If you're unable to link a matter to NetDocuments, the first step is to confirm whether the contact associated with the matter is connected in the system.

    • You can do this by navigating to the contact's profile and checking their connection status. If the contact isn't connected, try reconnecting them manually.

  2. Check for Special Characters in the Contact or Matters’s Name

    • Sometimes, special characters like quotation marks (") in a contact's name can interfere with the integration between ZenCase and NetDocuments.

    • Solution: Remove any special characters (like ", & or !) from the subject's name, save the changes, and try linking the subject to NetDocuments again.

  3. Retry Linking the Contact or Matter

    • After making the necessary changes (e.g., connecting the contact or fixing any name formatting issues), retry the linking process. This should resolve the error.

  4. Verify the Contact is in NetDocuments

    • If the contact is connected but the matter still won't link, navigate to NetDocuments and verify that the contact is listed correctly. Ensure there are no discrepancies between the contact information in ZenCase and NetDocs.

    • If the contact is missing or misconfigured in NetDocuments, resolve it there and then attempt to link the matter again.

    • If you can't see the contact or matter in NetDocuments, it's possible that you may not have the necessary permissions to create or link matters. Contact your firm administrator if needed
