Overview

Few organisations use literally a single tool to run their businesses. They might want to, but generally they still use a CRM, an email client, a messaging app, a calendar app, a social media platform... and sometimes more. And if these processes are not integrated, a lot of time can be wasted. This is where automated application integration comes in. Application integration boosts productivity and enables better decision making, by sharing information as soon as it's available. Claris Connect is a leader in the field. With Connect, integration becomes a simplified process, allowing you to easily unify applications, services, systems and databases across your enterprise. Our one day course will introduce you to the concept of application integrations and how to achieve this in Claris Connect. You will consider the numerous workflows that might exist in your business environment and how an action in one application could usefully trigger another action elsewhere, such as creating a record in a Claris FileMaker table. You will see how Claris Connect uses the concept of a Flow as an automation comprising components that can be a built-in Claris Connect utility or a connector to a third-party application. We cover the complete process of triggers, flows, steps and actions, with the emphasis on using a FileMaker Pro script as the starting trigger or the ending action, or both. Starting with examples of simple flows, the course builds towards a worked example of how to integrate records in a FileMaker table with MailChimp subscriber lists. Don't delay - integrate your business processes with Claris connect today!
