12/18/2023 0 Comments Apple database filemakerI am relatively new to Shortcuts, so forgive me if I have done things wrong. The screenshot below is the Apple Shortcut that the FileMaker script calls. Use your own Cel Phone and Message fields. Change lines 5 and 7 if you import this into your database. Here is the script I used: The main script. The final step in the process is to build a Shortcut at the other end that takes the two fields from FileMaker and sends them to the Messages app. (later I found this Youtube video called Filemaker Go 19 and Shortcuts Resize Photo that documents the outbound procedure with a Shortcut called from within FileMaker that resizes photos as the example.) It turns out that Apple’s Shortcuts app support a url scheme, called ‘shortcuts://’ and it behaves similarly to the ‘tel://’ or ‘sms://’ url schemes that I employed in my recent FileMaker to SMS demo. I couldn’t find any articles about going outbound from FileMaker to Apple Shortcuts.

These are setups where another app, or even Siri can run a FileMaker script. A few versions of FileMaker Go back, Claris started offering access to Apple Shortcuts by ‘donating’ scripts. I found a number of articles discussing how to get FileMaker data with Apple Shortcuts. I started to think about alternate methods and Apple Shortcuts came to mind. It didn’t seem right to be able to generate a message, but not send it. I wasn’t totally satisfied with the results of my FileMaker to SMS demo blog post.
