What integration options does Legal Server support?

Legal Server offers out-of-the-box connectors for popular CRM platforms and calendar services. Sync case contacts with Clio or Salesforce, pull calendars from Microsoft 365 or Google, and keep all parties aligned without manual data entry. These plug-and-play integrations reduce duplicate work and keep case files current.

When native integrations aren’t enough, the Legal Server API lets you connect almost any tool. Build custom workflows, trigger actions on case updates, or push data into external document management systems. The REST API uses standard OAuth authentication, so your development team can integrate Legal Server with other tools securely and maintain full control over the data flow.

Legal Server manages case data, but client conversations happen across web chat, email, and messaging apps. Chatref’s omnichannel capability brings all those channels into a single AI agent, so a client’s question from your website, a WhatsApp message, or an email gets answered from the same knowledge base. It ensures no channel is siloed, giving legal teams a unified view of every client interaction alongside their Legal Server case records.

When a conversation needs a human touch, Chatref’s shared inbox makes the transfer seamless. Legal staff can monitor live chats in real time, step into any thread with complete context, and reply from within the same interface. This means case managers inside Legal Server can stay focused on high-priority matters, while routine questions are resolved automatically, and handoffs never lose the conversation history.

• Obtain API credentials from your Legal Server admin panel under Integrations.
• Use the REST endpoint documentation (available in the support portal) to map resources like cases, contacts, and calendars.
• Build and test with a sandbox environment before moving to production.
• Pair with Chatref’s webhook actions to trigger case updates directly from chat interactions.

How to connect Legal Server with CRM systems
Use the native integration module under Settings > Integrations. Choose your CRM (Clio, Salesforce, etc.) and authenticate with the service’s OAuth flow. Field mapping wizards then link Legal Server contacts and matters to CRM records. If no native connector exists, use the Legal Server API to push or pull data via custom middleware.

Best tools to integrate with Legal Server
Top tools include Clio and MyCase for practice management, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace for calendaring and documents, and Salesforce for nonprofit CRM. For communication, Chatref’s omnichannel platform connects web chat, email, and WhatsApp to a single agent, while its shared inbox allows live handoffs—keeping all client messages in one place alongside your case data.
