![]() Through Claris Connect, any custom FileMaker application can now “plug” into this suite of powerful business tools. It’s the equivalent of daisy changing a series of power strips to plug a computer into a wall outlet, versus being able to plug the computer directly into the outlet itself. It was generally time-intensive and cumbersome, and involved creating additional plug-ins or scripts to get two applications to interface. While FileMaker could “talk” to these platforms previously, it would have to do so through the FileMaker Data API. It’s the symbiotic relationship it forms with FileMaker, though, that allows for truly comprehensive solutions. Everything from Slack to PayPal to Twitter can be integrated into these flows, leaving your team to focus on the most important tasks. For example, one flow may automatically upload specific documents to your team’s cloud storage as soon as they arrive in your inbox, even pinging your team over chat that there’s an update. It allows users to automate otherwise time-consuming tasks. It fills a unique software need known as iPaaS (integrated Platform as a Service). ![]() ![]() ![]() Claris Connect can even function independently of FileMaker, but it’s the combination of the two platforms that really creates amazing opportunities for workflow.Ĭlaris Connect itself is designed to create connections- which it refers to as flows- between otherwise independent pieces of software. It can integrate seamlessly with applications developed in FileMaker, but it’s true purpose is to integrate with… well, just about everything else. It’s had an incredible impact on the software development space, and drastically expanded the audience for custom applications.Ĭlaris, FileMaker’s developer, recently released a new piece of software that has the potential to be equally game-changing: Claris Connect. We believe it’s a powerful platform that allows small to midsize firms the ability to create virtually any piece of software we need.
