By now you’ve surely heard of Claris Connect. It’s a powerful new tool from Claris Inc., launched in 2019 with powerful features to create automated workflows, connecting all of your business critical applications, and offering tantalizing promises such as:

• Automation made (really) easy.

• Connection without boundaries

• Integrating apps with easy to use templates.

What’s not to love about this teaser Claris provides?

“Digital transformation starts with flow. Escape from app chaos by bringing your everyday apps together to create automated workflows. Streamline your business. Supercharge your innovation.”

Having had time to explore Claris Connect ourselves, we agree that it is living up to its promises and is a delight to work with. Portage Bay Solutions has nearly thirty years of experience in FileMaker development and 4th Dimension solutions and we’ve found Claris Connect to be an attractive, intuitive, and helpful option for many of our solutions. Because of our experience with these expanded capabilities, and our desire to keep learning and help others learn about Connect, we have launched a Claris Connect Meetup and we invite you to join.

Zoom Meeting: Third Wednesday Of Every Month

We’ll gather through a Zoom meeting, on the third Wednesday of every month, starting at noon Pacific and discussing for about an hour to an hour and a half. We welcome new and advanced users alike and we encourage you to bring your questions and problems and to share the innovative solutions you’ve already discovered. We are planning a slate of topics covering creating flows, managing flows, and delving into all aspects of individual app connectors. Our meetings will be a mixture of group leader led discussions, group Q&A, and guest speaker presentations. 

The first meeting will take place on Wednesday, January 20, 2021. We’ll do a little organizing, share what Portage Bay has been doing with Connect, and will also have time to hear from you about your own projects, questions, and interests. 

For future meetings we’ll move through a range of topics such as these:

• Popular App Connectors

• Webhooks and Teamwork integration

• Shopify integration

• Debugging techniques

• Why to use Claris Connect over an APR integration with a push
