Description
Hearsay + Smokeball Integration:
Hearsay is a SaaS platform where native evidence gets collected and reviewed - emails directly from inboxes, text messages directly from mobile devices, and transaction history directly from the bank accounts. Smokeball is where the matter lives. The integration keeps those two in sync so attorneys don't have to move files by hand, maintain two parallel case lists, or keep billing in sync.
What syncs, once connected:
- Inbound documents — pull documents from a linked Smokeball matter into Hearsay.
- Auto-create cases — when a new matter is created in Smokeball, a corresponding Hearsay case is created automatically. (Demoed live: created a new matter and contact in Smokeball, and the case appeared in Hearsay as "Smokeball linking demo.")
- Outbound files — case files uploaded to Hearsay sync back into Smokeball.
- Collected evidence — when native data sources are collected (email, mobile, bank), the data is automatically exported in the right format and pushed to Smokeball on request.
Each of these is an independent toggle, so a firm can run the integration one-directionally if they prefer.
The pitch in one line: collect evidence forensically in Hearsay, and it lands in the right Smokeball matter, in the right format, without anyone exporting a zip file.

Features
Multi-source collection
Capture evidence from the places it actually lives: text messages (SMS and iMessage), mobile chat and messaging apps, email, and web and social media captures, all from a single platform.
Forensic-grade extraction
Pull data directly from a client's iPhone or Android device to evidentiary standards, preserving the original content and metadata rather than relying on screenshots or manual exports.
Built-in chain of custody
Every collection ships with a Certificate of Authenticity documenting how and when the evidence was captured, so it holds up when opposing counsel challenges it.
Two-way Smokeball sync
New matters in Smokeball can automatically create a matching case in Hearsay, and completed extractions, exhibits, and analysis sync back to the correct matter automatically.
Powerful evidence search
Search across thousands of messages, surface the threads that matter, produce exhibits, and resolve who said what to whom, without reading every message by hand.
Pay-as-you-go or fully automated
Spin up a collection only on the matters that need one, or turn on end-to-end automation so cases are created and evidence is synced without anyone lifting a finger.
