How does the integration between FileMaker and NocoDB work in WEXTL?
WEXTL exposes actions and triggers for FileMaker and NocoDB 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 NocoDB.
Connect your FileMaker and NocoDB 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 FileMaker's "Create Record" action to perform NocoDB's "Add Sort" action. FileMaker has 16 actions (including Create Record, Delete Record, and Duplicate Record); NocoDB has 44 actions (including Add Sort, Count Table Records, and Create Base). 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. FileMaker-to-NocoDB 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 NocoDB) 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 + NocoDB 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]
