How to Connect Quilia + Filevine

To integrate Filevine with Quilia, you need to activate the Quilia integration in Filevine, create a Personal Access Token, and then enter it in the Quilia Portal. The setup takes about 5 minutes and enables automatic syncing of project and client activity between the two platforms.

What you need

• A Filevine account with Org Admin access
• A Quilia Portal admin account
• About 5 minutes

Step 1: Activate the Quilia Integration in Filevine

Before you can generate a Personal Access Token for Quilia, you first need to activate Quilia as a certified partner integration in your Filevine organization.

1. Log into Filevine and click the hamburger menu (three lines) in the top-left corner
2. Scroll down and click "Advanced" to open the Advanced settings area
3. In the left sidebar, click "Integrations"
4. Scroll down through the list of certified partner integrations until you find "Quilia"
5. Click the green "Activate" button next to Quilia

Step 2: Create a Service Account

Now that Quilia is activated, you need to create a Service Account for Quilia.

1. Click "Service Accounts" on the Advanced sidebar
2. Select your Org from the dropdown
3. Click "+ New"

4. In the New Service Account panel, select "Quilia" from the dropdown
5. Leave "All Permissions" selected
6. Click "Create" in the bottom-right corner

Step 3: Find your Filevine Org ID

Quilia needs your Filevine Org ID along with a Personal Access Token to connect. Grab the Org ID first, since the token lives on a different screen.

1. Click your profile avatar in the top-right corner of Filevine
2. Select "Filevine Settings" from the dropdown
3. In the left sidebar, click "Orgs"
4. On the Basic Info tab, find the "ID" field (a number like 990000532)
5. Copy the Org ID and keep it handy. You will paste it in Step 5

Step 4: Create a Personal Access Token in Filevine

With the Org ID saved, create a Personal Access Token (PAT) that Quilia will use to securely connect to your Filevine account.

Open the Account Manager

1. Click your profile avatar in the top-right corner of Filevine
2. Select "Manage My Account" from the dropdown to open the Account Manager

Create a Personal Access Token

1. In the Account Manager left sidebar, click "Access Tokens"
2. Click "+ New" to open the New Token panel
3. In the Name field, type "Quilia"
4. Confirm the User is the Quilia service account (ends in @filevine-cpi-service-accounts.com)
5. Under Scopes, check Filevine API Access
6. Also check Webhook API Access
7. Click "Create" in the bottom-right corner
8. Copy the token value immediately. You will not be able to view it again after leaving this page

Step 5: Connect Filevine in Quilia

With your Personal Access Token and Org ID ready, head over to the Quilia Portal to complete the connection.

1. Open Connect Filevine in Quilia and sign in with your admin account. The API Credentials window opens automatically
2. Enter your Filevine Org ID from Step 3
3. Paste your Personal Access Token
4. Click Save
