Webhook and FileMaker integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for Webhook and FileMaker and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Development, Core Nodes, and Data & Storage workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect Webhook and FileMaker

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure Webhook and FileMaker nodes

You can find Webhook and FileMaker in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure Webhook and FileMaker nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect Webhook and FileMaker

A connection establishes a link between Webhook and FileMaker (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your Webhook and FileMaker integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect Webhook and FileMaker with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your Webhook and FileMaker workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Webhook to FileMaker or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Integrate Xero with FileMaker using Webhooks

Integrate Xero with FileMaker using Webhooks

Workflow Description

This n8n workflow automates the integration between Xero and FileMaker, allowing for seamless data transfer between the two platforms. By listening for webhooks from Xero (e.g., new invoices, payments, or contacts), this workflow ensures that data is automatically sent and recorded in a FileMaker database.

Who is This For?

This workflow template is ideal for:
Accountants** who need a streamlined process to sync financial data between Xero and FileMaker.
Business Owners** looking to automate data entry and improve accuracy across their systems.
Developers** building solutions for clients that require integration between accounting software and databases.
Operations Teams** focused on minimizing manual work and improving efficiency.

Key Steps

Xero Webhook Trigger: The workflow starts by capturing events from Xero via a webhook.
Data Processing: Transforms and maps the incoming data to match FileMaker’s required format.
FileMaker Node: Utilizes the FileMaker node to create or update records directly in the FileMaker database.
Logging & Error Handling: Tracks successful entries and manages any errors with automated alerts.

Setup Instructions

Set Up the Xero Webhook:
Create a webhook in Xero and point it to your n8n webhook node URL.
Configure the types of events to trigger the workflow (e.g., new invoices or payments).
Xero will then send some test calls to test you are doing proper hash control.

Connect the FileMaker Node:
Set up your FileMaker node with the appropriate credentials and database configuration.
Map the fields between the incoming Xero data and your FileMaker database structure.
Customize Data Processing:
Adjust data transformations as needed to ensure compatibility with your FileMaker schema.
Test and Deploy:
Run the workflow with sample data to ensure everything is functioning correctly.
Monitor the execution log to verify data transfer and make any adjustments as needed.
Error Handling Configuration:
Configure error-handling nodes or alerts to notify you of any issues during data processing.

Benefits

This setup facilitates real-time data synchronization between Xero and FileMaker, reducing the need for manual data entry and improving overall operational efficiency.

Build your own Webhook and FileMaker integration

Create custom Webhook and FileMaker workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.

Webhook and FileMaker integration details

integrationWebhook node
Webhook

Webhooks are automatic notifications that apps send when something occurs. They are sent to a certain URL, which is effectively the app's phone number or address, and contain a message or payload. Polling is nearly never quicker than webhooks, and it takes less effort from you.

Use case

Save engineering resources

Reduce time spent on customer integrations, engineer faster POCs, keep your customer-specific functionality separate from product all without having to code.
