Andrew Duncan with Databuzz showed how you can integrate the Claris FileMaker Platform with DocuSign, the the world's #1 eSignature platform, using their fmESignature Link (DocuSign Edition) solution.
fmESignature Link allows you to automate the management of electronic document signing: you can generate and send agreements to be signed electronically using your familiar FileMaker interface and download the completed agreements back into FileMaker.
Andrew discussed how small businesses are taking advantage of eSignature in the age of remote work and demonstrated some cool new features including accepting payments, ID Verification and webhooks.
The Claris Beyond group is open to all experience levels and we encourage people to bring questions, problems, and share innovative solutions.

We meet through Zoom on the third Wednesday of each month, for an hour to an hour and a half, starting at 12pm Pacific (2pm CT / 3pm ET). Meetings are a mixture of leader-led discussions, group Q&A, and guest speaker presentations.

Demo file: boxed-summary-groups.zip Recently I needed to produce a summary report with variable height rows and each group enclosed in a rectangular box. To make the challenge more interesting, there were multiple fields in the body part, and it was not known in advance for any given record which would be tallest. At any rate,…
Since Claris announced FileMaker 2025 on July 8, I was looking for the best words to describe this release. I ended up deciding to borrow from Neil Armstrong.
