Announcing the Claris Beyond User Group!

The Claris FileMaker Western Washington group and the Claris Connect Meetup are joining together to form a new user group called Claris Beyond. The Western Washington group brings a long history of respect for the FileMaker platform and a deep knowledge of its foundations and capabilities. The Claris Connect group brings an interest in exploring connectors and ways to bridge the gap between FileMaker and other applications. Together, the Claris Beyond user group will continue that shared eagerness to harness the strength of FileMaker while seamlessly connecting it with technology at large – whether that be through Claris Connect, API’s, Tableau, JavaScript, and more. 

We’ll meet monthly through Zoom, on the third Wednesday of each month, from 12pm – 1:30pm Pacific time. The first meeting will take place next month, on August 17th.

  • If you are currently in the Claris Connect Meetup you don’t need to do anything. The group has been renamed Claris Beyond and you’ll continue to receive notices as usual.

  • If you are currently in the Western Washington group then you’ll need to join the Claris Beyond Meetup so you can receive the meeting links and communications.

  • Everyone will be invited to a Slack workspace specifically for Claris Beyond, to provide a way to connect and keep the discussions going between meetings. 

We will also continue the Western Washington tradition of in-person gatherings by having in-person workshops in Seattle. Keep an eye out for more details about those!

The Claris Beyond group’s specific focus will be on topics related to external integrations such as Claris Connect, REST API integration, or integration via a third-party tool or application.

We would love to have you participate fully in the user group by signing up to share your knowledge of a specific area. Please fill out the info form and let us know what you’d like to explore. It can be an area you’re already working with, or one where you’d like to delve in and learn more.

We look forward to continuing the collaborative nature that everyone has fostered and built over the years. The Claris Community depends on such detailed interactions among developers, hobbyists, and enthusiasts so that we can all keep our craft strong, innovative, and flexible as times and technologies progress. Through monthly Zoom meetings, a new Slack workspace, and face-to-face workshops, the Claris Beyond user group will provide a space for developers of all levels to succeed in our ever-changing digital age. 

Let us know what questions you may have. We’ll see you on August 17th! In the meantime, please enjoy this recap of today’s session at the AutoEnter Live virtual conference.

Hear from members of the Claris Connect User Group as they demonstrate innovative ways they are automating workflows. This 100% virtual gathering, formed during COVID, is the first user group to be based on Claris Connect. We are made up of diverse individuals from around the world who meet online monthly to push our Claris Connect knowledge and skills to the next level. Our session will showcase some of our members and the creative techniques and solutions they presented over the year, including Slack, Mailparser, eversign, and more! Our group enjoys engaging with “thinking outside the box” ideas so be prepared to feel inspired and to leave with some new approaches for your next development project. We’ll also share a special announcement about the next, expanding phase of the user group.
