No case management platform operates in isolation. The real power of Filevine emerges when you connect it to the other tools your firm depends on every day. With an open API and Zapier connectivity that unlocks over 2,000 potential integrations, Filevine can serve as the central hub of your entire legal technology stack. Here are the integrations that deliver the most value.
Accounting and Billing Integrations
QuickBooks
The QuickBooks integration syncs financial data between Filevine and your accounting system, keeping trust account records, invoice payments, and expense tracking aligned across both platforms. For firms that handle contingency fee cases, this integration ensures that settlement disbursements, lien payments, and attorney fee calculations flow correctly into your books without manual data entry.
Xero
For firms that use Xero instead of QuickBooks, the integration provides similar functionality: syncing invoices, payments, and expense records between platforms. Xero’s strength in handling multi-currency transactions makes this a popular choice for firms with international clients.
Communication and Phone Integrations
Dialpad
Dialpad integration brings your phone system into Filevine, automatically logging calls to the relevant case file, recording conversations for documentation, and triggering tasks based on call outcomes. When a client calls, the system can display their case information on screen before the attorney picks up.
RingCentral
Similar to Dialpad, the RingCentral integration connects your firm’s phone system to Filevine for automatic call logging and recording. This is particularly valuable for firms that need to document every client interaction for compliance or quality assurance purposes.
Outlook and Gmail
Email integration allows you to sync messages directly to case files in Filevine, ensuring that all client correspondence is captured in one place. You can file emails to specific cases with a single click, and the integration preserves attachments, threading, and metadata.
Document and E-Signature Integrations
Vinesign
Vinesign is Filevine’s dedicated e-signature tool, built to work seamlessly within the platform. Documents generated from Filevine templates can be sent for signature without leaving the case file, and signed documents are automatically filed back into the case record. It handles engagement letters, settlement agreements, medical authorizations, and any other document that requires a signature.
SharePoint and Google Drive
For firms that maintain external document repositories, SharePoint and Google Drive integrations allow you to connect those repositories to Filevine cases. This is useful for firms transitioning from file server-based document management or those that collaborate with co-counsel who use different platforms.
Intake and Lead Management
Lead Docket
Lead Docket is a purpose-built legal intake platform that integrates directly with Filevine. It captures leads from your website, phone, and advertising channels, scores them based on your criteria, and pushes qualified leads into Filevine as new cases with all intake data pre-populated. This eliminates the manual handoff between your intake team and your case management system.
Automation and Workflow Integrations
Zapier
Zapier is the Swiss Army knife of Filevine integrations. It connects Filevine to thousands of other applications without requiring any code. Common Zapier workflows for law firms include automatically creating a Filevine case when a form is submitted on your website, sending a Slack notification when a case phase changes, adding calendar events to Google Calendar when deadlines are set in Filevine, creating follow-up tasks when emails arrive from specific contacts, and syncing new contact records between Filevine and your email marketing platform.
Custom API Integrations
For firms with unique technology needs, Filevine’s open API allows developers to build custom integrations that Zapier cannot handle. This includes pulling data from court filing systems, connecting to proprietary databases, integrating with specialized medical record retrieval services, and building custom dashboards that combine Filevine data with data from other sources.
Reporting and Analytics
Domo and Periscope
For firms that need advanced business intelligence beyond what Filevine’s built-in reporting offers, integrations with data visualization platforms like Domo allow you to build executive dashboards that combine case management data with financial metrics, marketing analytics, and operational KPIs in a single view.
How to Prioritize Your Integrations
You do not need to set up every integration on day one. Prioritize based on impact:
- Start with accounting. Financial data accuracy is non-negotiable. Connect QuickBooks or Xero first.
- Add communication tools. Email and phone integration ensures that client interactions are captured in case files.
- Connect your intake pipeline. Whether you use Lead Docket or a web form through Zapier, automate the handoff from lead to case.
- Enable e-signatures. Set up Vinesign to streamline document execution.
- Build custom automations. Use Zapier or the API to connect the remaining tools in your stack.
