How to Connect Amalgam to LeanLaw

Connect LeanLaw to Amalgam to pull your firm’s clients, matters, employees and time entries into your spreadsheets, Claude or ChatGPT. LeanLaw connects with a firm-level API key that you generate in LeanLaw’s settings and paste into Amalgam.

What You Need

• A LeanLaw login with Firm Setup access. Only these users can generate or manage API keys.
• An Amalgam account.

Generate the Key in LeanLaw

1. Log in to LeanLaw and click the gear icon in the top right to open your firm’s Settings.
2. Under Integrations, click API.
3. Click Generate API Key.
4. Give the key a name such as Amalgam and save. Copy the key straight away; LeanLaw shows it once.

Connect LeanLaw

1. Log in at app.amalgam.me.
2. Click New Integration and choose LeanLaw. You can type the name in the search box to find it.
3. Enter a Company Name. This is only the display name for the integration in Amalgam, so your firm’s name is fine.
4. Paste the key into Private Key and click Connect.

What You Can Pull

LeanLaw is a read-only integration. Reports include Leanlaw Clients, Leanlaw Employees, Leanlaw Matters and Leanlaw Time Entries. See Reports by Provider.

Good to Know

• Deleting a key in LeanLaw stops the integration at once. Generate a new one and paste it in with Edit on the integration in Amalgam.
• The key belongs to the firm, not to one user, so it keeps working if the person who created it leaves.
