How does the integration between Bubble and FileMaker work in WEXTL?
WEXTL exposes actions and triggers for Bubble and FileMaker that help you connect apps and automate repetitive tasks [1]. A trigger is an event that happens, an action — a step that performs when the event has occurred.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting Bubble and FileMaker.
Connect your Bubble and FileMaker accounts once, pick an action in one app and an action in the other, then map the fields so data flows automatically between them. [3]
Example: use Bubble's "Bulk Create Things" action to perform FileMaker's "Create Record" action. Bubble has 8 actions (including Bulk Create Things, Create Thing, and Delete Thing); FileMaker has 16 actions (including Create Record, Delete Record, and Duplicate Record). Add filters and transforms between steps when you need them. [1]
Yes — pick an action in either app, then an action in the other, and map the fields between them. [2]
No. Bubble-to-FileMaker automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic. [4]
Yes. Trigger-based automations start the moment Bubble (or FileMaker) fires a new event — webhook-backed apps run within seconds, and polling-only apps re-check on a schedule you control. [7]
A first automation typically takes 5–10 minutes: connect each app's credential once, drop a trigger + action onto the canvas, map the fields, and turn the workflow on.
