Connection information required

The information required to establish the connection differs between FileMaker Server and FileMaker Cloud connectors.

Domain	Team
Username	Instance

Because Claris Studio, FileMaker Cloud, and Claris Connect authenticate with Claris ID, you are automatically authenticated when adding a Claris Studio or FileMaker Cloud step and don't have to specify your username and password.

If you are still unable to connect to your FileMaker app after verifying the above settings, contact support.
