CosmoLex

CosmoLex Doesn't Publish a Public API. Here's What Actually Connects To It.

CosmoLex doesn't offer a public developer API, OAuth access, or webhooks the way larger practice management platforms do. Its real integration surface is a set of native connections (Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, NetDocuments, Box, LawPay, and email forwarding) plus a limited, fixed set of actions through Zapier. When something you need isn't covered by any of those, n-frames builds it directly against CosmoLex's own web interface instead, using browser automation rather than an API that doesn't exist.

What CosmoLex actually exposes

CosmoLex covers a lot of ground natively: it already connects to the common document storage providers (Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, NetDocuments, Box), to LawPay for trust and invoice payments, and to email for forwarding and tagging messages to the right matter automatically. For plenty of firms, that's enough on its own.

Zapier covers a narrow, fixed set of actions. Through Zapier, CosmoLex supports creating a contact, event, matter, note, soft cost, task, or timecard, triggered from whatever else you run. That's genuinely useful for simple one-way handoffs, a new lead becomes a CosmoLex contact, a form submission becomes a matter, but it stops there. There's no general CosmoLex API behind it for anything more involved.

Beyond those predefined actions, there's nothing to call. No documented REST API, no OAuth flow, no webhook to subscribe to for changes happening inside CosmoLex. If what you need isn't a contact, event, matter, note, soft cost, task, or timecard creation, Zapier's integration can't reach it either.

That's where browser automation takes over. We build automation that works directly with CosmoLex's own web interface, the same screens a staff member would use, to do whatever the predefined actions don't cover: pulling data out for reporting, triggering something CosmoLex doesn't expose any other way, or keeping a second system in sync in both directions instead of just one.

What we build around CosmoLex's limits

Reporting CosmoLex doesn't export cleanly

Pulling matter, billing, and trust data out of CosmoLex into a report or dashboard your partners actually look at, built against the data directly instead of a manual monthly export.

Two-way sync Zapier's actions don't cover

Where a predefined Zapier action only moves data one direction, like creating a matter, we build the automation that keeps CosmoLex and another system in sync both ways, since there's no native API to do that through.

What are you still exporting out of CosmoLex by hand?

Tell us what you're pulling out manually or trying to connect CosmoLex to. We'll scope whether Zapier's actions cover it or it needs something built directly against the interface.

Let's talk

Hit a wall because CosmoLex doesn't have an API for what you need?

CosmoLex's own integration options stop at a handful of Zapier actions and a few native connections. When what you're trying to do falls outside creating a contact, matter, task, or timecard, there's no official way through, so we build it directly against CosmoLex's interface instead. If CosmoLex isn't actually where your team is stuck, the same browser-based approach works on whatever system is.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does CosmoLex have an API?+
Not a public one. CosmoLex doesn't publish a developer API, OAuth access, or webhooks. Its own integrations run through native connections (document storage, LawPay, email) and a fixed set of actions available through Zapier, not a general-purpose API you can build against.
What can you actually do with CosmoLex through Zapier?+
Zapier's CosmoLex integration supports a specific list of actions: creating a contact, event, matter, note, soft cost, task, or timecard. It covers simple one-way handoffs well, but anything more involved, like pulling data out of CosmoLex or syncing two systems both ways, isn't something Zapier's CosmoLex actions reach.
How does n-frames connect to CosmoLex without an API?+
The same way a staff member would, through CosmoLex's own web interface, automated. It's slower to build than calling a documented API, since there isn't one, but it reaches things Zapier's predefined actions can't.
Does CosmoLex integrate with document storage and payments natively?+
Yes. CosmoLex connects natively to Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, NetDocuments, and Box for documents, to LawPay for trust and invoice payments, and to email for forwarding messages into a matter automatically. Those cover a lot of what firms need without any custom integration work.
