How does the integration between FileMaker and Google Firestore work in WEXTL?
WEXTL exposes actions and triggers for FileMaker and Google Firestore 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 FileMaker and Google Firestore.
Connect your FileMaker and Google Firestore accounts once, pick a trigger in one app and an action in the other, then map the fields so data flows automatically between them. [3]
Example: when Google Firestore's "Watch Backup Schedules" fires, WEXTL can "Create Record" in FileMaker. FileMaker has 16 actions (including Create Record, Delete Record, and Duplicate Record); Google Firestore has 52 actions (including Batch Get Documents, Batch Write, and Begin Transaction). Add filters and transforms between steps when you need them. [1]
Yes — the integration works in both directions. Use each app's triggers to start a workflow and the other app's actions to update it. [2]
No. FileMaker-to-Google Firestore 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 FileMaker (or Google Firestore) 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 FileMaker + Google Firestore 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]
