Claris Connect workflow automation
Claris Connect is Claris’s integration platform for linking FileMaker with other apps through visual flows. We design, set up and monitor Connect workflows so routine hand-offs between systems happen automatically and reliably.
Small hand-offs that eat the day
Posting an alert to Slack when an order is approved, creating a Salesforce contact when a form is submitted, filing a document in Google Drive — each takes a minute, but across a team they add up to hours every week. Claris Connect can handle these hand-offs without custom code, provided the flows are designed carefully and someone watches them.
