Unifying the Claris Platform: FileMaker, Studio, and Connect Work Seamlessly in 2025

Posted by Kyo Logic on July 23, 2025

The release of FileMaker 2025 marks a significant turning point in the evolution of the Claris platform. With deeper, native integration between FileMaker, Claris Studio, and Claris Connect, developers and teams can now build modern, scalable applications that combine the speed of low-code development with enterprise-grade automation and data handling.

This unified approach brings together the core strengths of each tool—custom apps, web forms, and automated workflows—into a single ecosystem, dramatically improving the way teams collaborate, collect data, and connect systems.

External Web Access to FileMaker Data via Claris Studio

FileMaker data can now be securely published to Claris Studio views, giving organizations a clean, web-based interface for data collection, reporting, or client access—without requiring external web hosting or complex custom development. This capability opens up new possibilities for form-driven workflows, customer portals, and remote data entry systems.

Claris Studio Scales Up: 100,000+ Records Per View

Claris Studio now supports over 100,000 records per view, making it a serious option for large-scale data collection and reporting. Whether you’re handling survey responses, work orders, or product catalogs, Studio can manage high-volume datasets without compromising on performance or usability.

Granular Access Control at the Record Level

New fine-grained access controls in Claris Studio allow developers to specify permissions at the record level. This ensures that end users only see and interact with the data relevant to them—essential for use cases involving external stakeholders, distributed teams, or sensitive data.

Claris Connect Triggers Real-Time Automation

Claris Connect integrates natively with the platform, letting developers trigger automated workflows across services like Slack, Google Sheets, Outlook, Mailchimp, Claris Studio, Box, and many others. From a simple lead capture form to a complex multi-step process, these real-time automations eliminate manual work and keep data synchronized across systems.

Unified Licensing for Studio and Connect

Perhaps one of the most impactful changes: Claris Studio and Claris Connect are now automatically provisioned with every FileMaker license. There’s no need for separate accounts or licensing to activate these tools—meaning you can build full-stack solutions right out of the box.

Why This Matters

The unification of FileMaker, Claris Studio, and Claris Connect makes the platform more powerful and accessible than ever. Developers can:

  • Deliver modern, secure web forms connected directly to FileMaker.

  • Scale apps confidently with large datasets and fast rendering.

  • Enforce secure, role-based access to sensitive data.

  • Automate tasks and connect FileMaker to your broader tech stack.

  • Launch new projects without worrying about separate licensing hurdles.

The Claris platform is no longer a collection of separate tools—it’s a cohesive, integrated environment that supports everything from custom app development to cloud-based web forms and automated workflows. With FileMaker 2025, organizations can build smarter, faster, and more securely using tools they already trust.
