I am looking to connect my Filemaker database to an Airtable base. The main purpose would be for the Airtable base to auto update, as I add new entries into my Filemaker database. Is there a way to accomplish this? So far, I have only seen ways to have Airtable data sent to Filemaker but not the other way around.
Connect Filemaker database to Airtable
+35Welcome to the community, @Andrew_Cohen! :slightly_smiling_face:
Yes, this is possible by making REST API calls to Airtable from FileMaker, using FileMaker’s “Insert From URL” command.
If this is your very first time trying to set this up in your FileMaker database, it’s not necessarily an easy/trivial thing — particularly because FileMaker has a few strange quirks when it comes to its CURL functionality.
But yes, it can definitely, absolutely, 100% be done! I personally use this FileMaker to Airtable functionality all the time.
If you have a budget for your project and need to hire a FileMaker/Airtable expert to help you set this up, please feel free to send me a private message.
Best,
Scott

Great! I’ll look into REST APIs between the two.
