The Claris FileMaker Western Washington group and the Claris Connect Meetup are joining together to form a new user group called Claris Beyond. The Western Washington group brings a long history of respect for the FileMaker platform and a deep knowledge of its foundations and capabilities. The Claris Connect group brings an interest in exploring connectors and ways to bridge the gap between FileMaker and other applications. Together, the Claris Beyond user group will continue 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.
One of the newest script steps in FileMaker (added in FileMaker 19.0) is the Execute FileMaker Data API script step. The script step is quite powerful as it allows us to easily interact with the FileMaker Data API by making requests and returning data without having to go through the hoops of creating and authenticating a session.
With FileMaker 16, Claris introduced the FileMaker Data API into the FileMaker development environment, giving us a powerful new tool for pushing and pulling data in and out of the FileMaker database engine.
