How to Build Scalable Web Apps and Forms Without Complex Integrations
Claris FileMaker 2025 introduces a major leap forward in how organizations can extend their internal applications to the web. With native support for publishing FileMaker data directly to Claris Studio, businesses can now create secure, scalable web apps and forms that are fully connected to their FileMaker backend without relying on custom APIs or third-party integrations.
This closes a long-standing gap for teams that want to expose certain workflows to clients, partners, or distributed users while keeping their database centralized and secure.
Secure Data Publishing Without Custom APIs
Previously, extending FileMaker data to the web meant building custom PHP bridges, integrating middleware, or manually syncing data. With FileMaker 2025, developers can now publish FileMaker tables, layouts, or record sets directly into Claris Studio with a few configuration steps.
Claris Studio acts as a secure, cloud-based front end that inherits FileMaker’s access controls and permissions, ensuring your data stays:
- Secure
- Audited
- Privilege-aware
- Centrally governed
This streamlined workflow dramatically reduces development time, complexity, and risk.
Perfect for External Users and Distributed Teams
Once published, FileMaker data is instantly available in Studio for:
- Web forms
- Data collection workflows
- External dashboards
- Customer or vendor portals
- Remote operations
- Field data entry
External users interact with Studio using a clean, responsive interface while FileMaker remains the authoritative system of record.
No More Third-Party Hosting or Glue Code
This integration means no more:
- Handcrafted API endpoints
- Manual ETL processes
- External database proxies
- Third-party form builders
Your FileMaker data flows natively and securely into Studio views, all within the Claris ecosystem.
Why It Matters
Organizations gain the ability to:
- Build web-based workflows faster
- Scale external access with built-in cloud performance
- Reduce integration costs
- Maintain stronger security and compliance
- Keep internal teams and external users connected to a single source of truth
Claris Studio turns FileMaker into a full end-to-end platform capable of powering both internal applications and external user experiences.
