FAQ

Questions about Slack + File Maker.

How long does it take to connect Slack and File Maker on TinyCommand?

Under two minutes. Authorize Slack and File Maker once each, drop the Slack trigger and File Maker action onto a workflow canvas, map a couple of fields, and publish. No code, no glue.

Is the Slack ↔ File Maker integration real-time?

Yes. Both Slack and File Maker expose webhooks, so events from one fire workflows in the other within seconds rather than on a polling interval.
