How Claris Studio and FileMaker Now Work Together Seamlessly

Posted by Kyo Logic on August 21, 2025

With FileMaker 2025, Claris has taken a major step forward in unifying its platform. One of the most powerful enhancements is the seamless integration between Claris FileMaker and Claris Studio. Claris provides multiple ways to connect FileMaker with Claris Studio, including Claris Connect, which supports intelligent, trigger-based workflows. These connections make it possible to set up responsive, event-driven interactions—so your systems can exchange data seamlessly as soon as something important happens. Businesses can now securely publish FileMaker data directly into Claris Studio, opening the door to scalable web apps and external data collection tools—without the need for complex third-party integrations.

Secure External Access to FileMaker Data

Previously, extending FileMaker data beyond the organization often required custom APIs, plugins, or external hosting solutions. Now, Claris Studio provides a direct bridge, enabling developers to publish FileMaker data securely to the web. This makes it possible to:

  • Share data with clients or partners in a controlled environment

  • Create portals for vendors, contractors, or distributed teams

  • Collect inputs externally while keeping FileMaker as the system of record

Scalable Web Apps and Forms

Claris Studio isn’t just about basic web views. With support for 100,000+ records per view, Studio can handle enterprise-scale datasets. Developers can build:

  • Customer intake or service request forms

  • Survey and feedback systems

  • External dashboards for reporting and analysis

All of this runs on the Claris platform, reducing dependency on outside web frameworks.

No More Third-Party Workarounds

In the past, businesses often relied on middleware or custom development to extend FileMaker apps to the web. With Studio’s integration, those workarounds aren’t necessary. FileMaker remains the secure backend database, while Studio provides a modern, scalable front end for external access.

Why This Matters

For developers and businesses alike, the seamless connection between FileMaker and Claris Studio means:

  • Faster deployment of web-facing solutions

  • Lower costs by eliminating third-party hosting or integrations

  • Greater confidence in data security and compliance

  • More flexibility to expand FileMaker’s reach beyond internal teams

The integration of Claris Studio and FileMaker is a game-changer for organizations that need to extend their data beyond internal users. Whether it’s building external portals, scalable data collection apps, or secure reporting tools, you can now do it all within the Claris ecosystem.
