Five Upcoming Ways You Can Continue to Learn
October and November have lots of ways you can keep learning about Claris Connect and other FileMaker integrations. Start by joining a Community Live call, hosted by Claris, where our own Kate Waldhauser will be one of the presenters.
Then catch the Claris Beyond Meetups on each third Wednesday (No meeting in December).
For ongoing learning, join a FileMaker FixIt! session on a first or third Tuesday afternoon. You’ll be speaking directly with a Portage Bay dev who can answer your questions and assist with expanding your FileMaker database. These sessions are complimentary and are open to all experience levels.
And, as always, you can contact us directly or schedule a more in-depth consultation.

We end each call with two breakout sessions:
- Continue the Conversation
- Joint Problem Solving
Stay and ask more questions about integrations or bring something you’re stuck on, to get collaborative input from the group.

NOVEMBER 20, 2024
Meetup: FileMaker Pro to QuickBooks Online without an API
12pm PT / 2pm CT / 3pm ET / 8pm BST
Join us to learn about a QuickBooks hack!
Our example is a legacy vertical market solution with an unconventional billing system, no file hierarchy, and few users on FMS or the most recent version of FMP who wanted to implement QuickBooks Online connectivity without using an API or third-party plugins.
Plus enjoy some pre-holiday trivia fun before we move into the breakout sessions.
