Configure Filevine API credentials, notification settings, and email delivery for your VineConnect® portal

The Admin Settings page is your central hub for configuring VineConnect® to work seamlessly with your Filevine environment. Here you'll manage API credentials, notifications, and email delivery preferences.

Filevine API Credentials

To connect VineConnect® to your Filevine account, you'll need to set up your Filevine API credential using a Personal Access Token (PAT).

  • Where to add it — Enter your PAT in the API Credentials field
  • How to generate a PAT — Follow the Filevine guide for creating a Personal Access Token in your Filevine account
  • Why it's needed — VineConnect® uses this credential to authenticate with Filevine and access your data securely
  • Notification Configuration

    The Notification Configuration tool lets you set up email and in-app alerts for yourself or other VineConnect® admins. You can configure notifications for:

  • Client Portal feedback — Alerts when clients submit feedback from the "My Team" section
  • SMS responses — Notifications for replies from Phase Change SMS, Review Request SMS, Mass SMS, or Verification Code SMS
  • Team messages — Updates when team members respond in the #clientportal Activity section in Filevine
  • Workflow execution — Notifications when a mapped and activated workflow runs successfully
  • Client login issues — Alerts for unsuccessful client logins that exceed two attempts
  • Review requests — Notifications when Review Request responses meet your configured threshold
  • Document uploads — Alerts when clients upload documents to the portal
  • Form submissions — Notifications when clients submit forms
  • Managing notification recipients:

  • Toggle your notification preferences (email or Filevine Activity section)
  • Enter email addresses in the notification area
  • Click "Add" to confirm each recipient
  • To remove someone, click the red "x" next to their email address
  • Email Delivery Settings

    The Email Delivery Settings control how VineConnect® handles automated outbound emails and client replies.

    Default behavior:

  • Sender email and "From" name default to the Tenant Admin's email and Law Firm Name (set in Client Portal Display Settings)
  • You can override both values with custom sender information
