Discover the Value of Claris Connect and FileMaker Integrations

Two photos, in circles - one of Kate Waldhauser, the other of Edward Lee, who are speaking at the Claris Community Live session on 10/3/24.
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. Read more
