Addressed issues

Box connector

  • Fixed a critical issue with the Box connector's "Upload New File" action that was preventing files from uploading successfully. Users were encountering upload failures that disrupted automated document workflows.

    This fix is especially important for organizations that rely on automated file uploads for business-critical documents, particularly when manual alternatives aren't viable for sensitive materials.

Claris FileMaker connector

  • Fixed several issues caused by non-English characters in scripts and field names:

    • Run script (trigger) - Scripts with Chinese or Japanese characters no longer return errors when the flow is triggered.

    • Find record (action) - Fields with Japanese "double-byte" characters no longer cause an error when the step is run.

    • Create record (action) - Certain special characters, for example "ó," no longer cause an error when the step is run.

New features and enhancements

Claris FileMaker connector

  • Added the following action:

    • Find records

  • Added support for Japanese characters in script names.

Pipedrive

Added the following actions:

  • Get all users

  • Get all deals

New features and enhancements

Claris FileMaker connector

Added the Claris FileMaker connector.

This connector unifies the functionality of the Claris FileMaker Server and Claris FileMaker Cloud connectors, offering a more robust and future-compatible solution with several "Advanced" actions that give you more control of your data.

Enhanced performance and scalability

  • Improved scalability to handle larger datasets and concurrent operations

  • Asynchronous script execution for better performance with long-running operations

Advanced data operations

  • JSON-based "Advanced" actions for create, update, and delete operations, providing more flexibility for complex data manipulation

  • Flexible record identification using either external Row ID or Primary Key, giving you more control over data relationships

  • Layout-independent field access—all writable fields are now available regardless of layout context

Improved integration capabilities

  • Enhanced container field support with native Claris Studio attachments and expanded file type compatibility

  • Standardized response schema for more predictable API interactions

  • Advanced script parameter support for passing complex data to FileMaker scripts

Real-time data synchronization

  • Record-based triggers that automatically execute flows when records are created, updated, or deleted

    Note  Available with FileMaker Server 2025 (version 22.0.1) or later

  • Table schema access for dynamic integration building

Developer experience

  • OData string-based queries for more intuitive and powerful find operations

  • Table management actions including create, update, and delete table operations

To access custom apps via the Claris FileMaker connector:

  1. Enable both the OData (fmodata) extended privilege in your target app.

  2. Enable this API in the Connectors tab of your FileMaker Server Admin Console or FileMaker Cloud Admin Console.

  3. For FileMaker Server, ensure the host is running FileMaker Server 21.1.0 or later.

Claris Connect is introducing the Anthropic connector with two new actions: Create Message and Create Message Advanced. The Create Message action enables you to send a structured list of input messages with text, allowing the model to generate the next message in the conversation. For greater flexibility, Create Message Advanced lets you programmatically input JSON, fully automating the creation of AI generated messages to suit your workflows.

JSON utility

Convert to JSON format - Improved the usability of the Text string to convert field by expanding it from a one-line field to a multi-line field.

For example, if a flow has 10 steps but failed on step 3 during a run, the column will show 3/10 to indicate that only 3 steps were run in that flow, including the step that returned an error.

Claris product logos

Claris product logos in Claris Connect were updated to the newest versions.

For more information on using the Claris Studio connector in your Claris Connect flows, see Working with the Claris Studio connector in Claris Connect Help.

Dropbox

Added the Wait for completed upload field to the Upload file from URL action, which gives you the option to tell the step to wait for the upload to Dropbox to complete before continuing to the next step in the flow—useful when uploading large files.

Quickbooks

Create invoice and Update invoice - Added the Invoice date field.

Quickbooks sandbox

APIs, technologies, or features to be deprecated

As Claris Connect evolves, the list of supported technologies, APIs, and features will change. As part of this evolution, certain connectors, actions, and features may be deprecated in favor of newer ones. Although deprecation does not mean the immediate removal of an item, you should migrate your flows away from deprecated technologies because these technologies may be removed in a future version of the product.
