Filevine Q&A

11 questions
What is Filevine and how does the Cohesive360 connector use it?
Filevine is a legal case-management SaaS used by personal-injury and litigation firms. The connector exposes 32 purpose-built tools across 10 capability areas covering projects, contacts, notes, tasks, calendar, deadlines, documents, case team management, and Collections.
How do I connect Filevine?
Sign in to Filevine as an admin and open Settings → Integrations → API Keys → Add Key. Paste the Key + Secret into /app/credentials/filevine, click Verify & discover orgs, pick the org, then Save & connect.
What's the difference between the API key flow and OAuth?
Filevine supports two auth paths. Phase 0.1 ships the PAT (client_credentials) flow — zero coordination with Filevine required. Phase 0.2 adds OAuth Authorization Code + PKCE for registered partner apps.
Does the API key grant Claude super-user access?
No. The key inherits the exact permissions of the Filevine admin who generated it. If that admin can't see or edit a project in the Filevine UI, Claude can't reach it through the connector either.
Does the connector support Filevine Canada?
Yes. The connect form lets you pick US or Canada at setup time; tokens are not portable across regions.
What if my user belongs to multiple Filevine orgs?
The connector calls Filevine's GetUserOrgsWithToken endpoint to discover every org your token can act in, then surfaces a picker. Connection is pinned to one org at a time.
Can Claude upload or download documents from Filevine?
Phase 0.1 ships document listing + metadata only. Upload + download lands in Phase 0.2 via Filevine's two-step pre-signed-URL flow.
What about Filevine's Collections (project custom data sections)?
Phase 0.1.1 ships three Collections tools: get_project_type_sections, get_project_collection_items, and update_collection_item. Field names are tenant-specific.
How are writes protected?
Notes, tasks, appointments, deadlines, and contacts all draft for review by default — Claude shows the payload and you confirm before it commits.
How is Filevine priced through Cohesive360?
Per seat, per month — tier C, same as SmartAdvocate and Clio. One Cohesive360 seat per Filevine user.
How do I disconnect Filevine?
Open /app/credentials/filevine and click Disconnect. The vault row is deleted; you can also revoke the key in Filevine itself.
