API keys and webhooks
Divorcepath provides API keys and webhook support for organizations that need controlled integrations, automation workflows, or internal system connections. This guide explains how to create API keys, use webhooks safely, and manage credentials responsibly.
What API keys and webhooks are used for
- Connecting Divorcepath to approved internal tools
- Sending event notifications to external automation platforms
- Triggering downstream workflows when clients, documents, or calculations change
- Supporting firm-specific reporting, integration, and process automation
Create an API key
API keys are available on plans that include integration support. To generate a key:
- Open your account or organization settings in Divorcepath.
- Go to the API or integration settings area.
- Create a new key.
- Give it a descriptive name such as Internal reporting sync or Automation platform.
- Copy and store the key securely. You may not be able to view it again once you leave the page.
Use webhooks
Webhooks send event data from Divorcepath to a destination you control. They are commonly used to notify another system when a record changes or when a workflow step should continue elsewhere.
Typical events may include client creation or update, document activity, and support-calculation activity, depending on the integration surface available to your organization.
Security best practices
- Store API keys in a secure secret manager, not in plain text files
- Use separate keys for separate integrations where possible
- Rotate keys if you suspect exposure
- Restrict webhook endpoints to systems you control
- Validate incoming webhook requests before processing them
Common integration uses
- Notify internal systems when a new client file is created
- Track support calculation activity in a reporting workflow
- Trigger downstream document or intake processes
- Support automation between Divorcepath and approved firm systems
