STEP 1
Connect FileMaker and Kintone
Save credentials in WEXTL once. We store them encrypted and reuse the authorization across every workflow [3]. No coding or API skills required.
FileMaker and Kintone Integration
Build database workflows between FileMaker and Kintone on a visual canvas — set up data fields sync between apps once and let data flow when events come automatically. Integration will work without code and your team will see the workflow inside WEXTL® builder.

How does the integration between FileMaker and Kintone work in WEXTL?
WEXTL exposes actions and triggers for FileMaker and Kintone 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 Kintone.
Connect your FileMaker and Kintone 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 Kintone's "Watch Comment Posted" fires, WEXTL can "Create Record" in FileMaker. FileMaker has 16 actions (including Create Record, Delete Record, and Duplicate Record); Kintone has 85 actions (including Add a Comment, Add a Cursor, and Add a Preview App). 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-Kintone 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 Kintone) 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 + Kintone 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]
