HOW DID THIS GROUP START?

The Claris FileMaker Western Washington group and the Claris Connect Meetup joined forces in 2022 to form Claris Beyond. The Western Washington group brought a long history of respect for the FileMaker platform and a deep knowledge of its foundations and capabilities.

The Claris Connect group brought an interest in exploring connectors and ways to bridge the gap between FileMaker and other applications.

Together, the Claris Beyond user group continues that shared eagerness to harness the strength of FileMaker while seamlessly connecting it with technology at large - whether that be through Claris Connect, API’s, Tableau, JavaScript, and more.

CAN I PRESENT?

Absolutely! The Claris Beyond group’s focus is on topics related to external integrations such as Claris Connect, REST API integration, or integration via a third-party tool or application. We would love to have you participate fully in the user group by signing up to share your knowledge of a specific area. 

Fill out this form and let us know what you’d like to explore. It can be an area you’re already working with, or one where you’d like to delve in and learn more.
