STEP 1
Connect Elastic and FileMaker
Save credentials in WEXTL once. We store them encrypted and reuse the authorization across every workflow [3]. No coding or API skills required.
Elastic and FileMaker Integration
Align data between Elastic and FileMaker to automate database workflows. Actions made in Elastic integration can trigger sequences of multiple actions inside FileMaker app - automatically, without any line of code.

How to connect Elastic to FileMaker
Set up your Elastic and FileMaker integration in 3 simple steps [2] — no coding required. Up to 10 minutes setup.
STEP 2
Build a workflow
Paste selected Elastic and FileMaker nodes onto the canvas [4], or describe what you want and WEXTL wires the flow together with AI Builder.
STEP 3
Map your data
Choose which fields need to sync between Elastic and FileMaker. Use filters or leverage a JS custom code step in between — everything is on the canvas.
How does the integration between Elastic and FileMaker work in WEXTL?
WEXTL exposes actions and triggers for Elastic 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.

Elastic modules
- Analyze Index TextSplits text into search tokens the way an index or one of its fields would.

- Create Index AliasAdds an alias to an index, or updates the options of an existing alias.
- Create Index TemplateCreates an index template that applies settings and mappings to new matching indices, or replaces one with the same name.
- Create Ingest PipelineCreates an ingest pipeline that transforms documents before they are stored, or replaces one with the same ID.
- Create SnapshotTakes a backup snapshot of indices, data streams, or the whole cluster into a repository.
- Create Snapshot RepositoryRegisters a storage location for snapshots, such as an S3 bucket, or updates an existing repository.
- Delete Component TemplateDeletes a component template that no index template uses anymore.
- Delete Data StreamDeletes a data stream together with all of its backing indices and documents.
- Delete Data Stream LifecycleRemoves the lifecycle from a data stream so its data is no longer expired or downsampled.
- Delete DocumentDeletes a single document by its ID.
- Delete Documents by QueryDeletes every document in an index that matches a query.
- Delete ILM PolicyDeletes an index lifecycle policy that no index uses anymore.

- Delete Snapshot RepositoryUnregisters a snapshot repository while leaving its stored snapshots in place.
- Explain AllocationExplains why a shard is unassigned or why it stays on its current node.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting Elastic and FileMaker.
Connect your Elastic 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 Elastic's "Analyze Index Text" action to perform FileMaker's "Create Record" action. Elastic has 123 actions (including Analyze Index Text, Analyze Text, and Bulk Index Documents); 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. Elastic-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 Elastic (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.
You can build your Elastic + FileMaker automation on a 3-day trial with every feature unlocked. Cancel anytime. For your protection, a small deposit is charged to your card when your trial starts. It counts toward your first payment and is non-refundable. [8]
