“Workflow Automation with Script Triggers”.

...

I don’t have any empirical data, but I believe it is safe to say that almost every organization is concerned with the business processes they follow and the continual improvement to this workflow.

This is not a new trend.

It should come as no surprise that the study of workflow – or the study of the deliberate, rational organization of the work – began in manufacturing at the turn of the 20th century, which is about twenty years before it was even dubbed ‘workflow’.

Every industry had embraced modernization and automation processes by this point so each company’s goal was to formalize the steps required to make a specific widget.

This allowed them to introduce optimization techniques as the workflow for building each part was refined.

This repeatability in the process also lead to improved quality since the part was made the same way each time.

A Discussion: Creating User Workflow

By: Laura Betz

We need to get things done. 

All of us.

No exceptions.  

So, how does this get accomplished?

When building applications there is always a purpose that needs to be fulfilled and applications may help facilitate this process.

In Part 2 of my post, I would like to share some of the key points specific to the FileMaker Script Triggers portion of my “Workflow Automation with Script Triggers” session.

When talking about script triggers, the best definition I found is that a script trigger specifies that a script runs when an event occurs.

This then leads us to the question “What is the event?”

In FileMaker, we know that a button, a menu item, or even another script can call a script.

While those actions are technically script triggers (lower case “s” and “t”), they are not the events and Script Triggers (upper case “S” and “T”) we are talking about here and now.

Integrating FileMaker and Airtable will let you move data between the two databases, and it is easier to do than you might think.

There are a variety of web services out there to help teams do their work efficiently and effectively.

FileMaker and Airtable are just a few go-to solutions for business folks struggling with organizing their time, projects, and people.

Airtable is generally perceived as easy to use.

It’s an excellent tool to turn to when you’re not quite sure what you need, but you know a simple spreadsheet isn’t up to the challenge. However, you might want to consider building an application with the FileMaker platform if your requirements include complex data patterns, multi-step workflows, and/or detailed, layered user interfaces. 

Thanks to modern technologies, different users, teams, divisions, etc., in an organization don’t necessarily have to use the same tools.

And, there are ways to integrate systems so that they share information reliably and securely.

In this article, we’ll review how we can establish connections between FileMaker and Airtable.
