![]() Since 1992 it has been available for Microsoft Windows and for the classic Mac OS and macOS, and can be used in a cross-platform environment. It was succeeded by FileMaker Pro in 1990. FileMaker evolved from a DOS application, but was then developed primarily for the Apple Macintosh and released in April 1985. It integrates a database engine with a graphical user interface (GUI) and security features, allowing users to modify the database by dragging new elements into layouts, screens, or forms. A friend had figured out how to get the dial url working in FileMaker (a sample of this is also in the demo file) and was wondering how sending an SMS file might work.FileMaker Pro is a cross-platform relational database application from Claris International, a subsidiary of Apple Inc. There are a number of ways to do send SMS messages from a FileMaker database, including using an API service such as Twillo or Claris Connect. ![]() What I was looking for though, was a free and non-server based option, something that could be done from a standalone database on a Mac computer or an iPhone in the field. This method could also work in a networked setup, it is send only, any responses are not going to show up in FileMaker magically. ![]() I found two sources for using the url method in FileMaker online. One blog post from Hi Voltage in Australia had a demo file that had the basics in place, but it didn’t generate a text message. Your iPhone permissions need to be configured properly (see the Hi Voltage article for more detailed setup instructions). Then I found someone had improved on their script with some lines of code on a FileMaker Today Forum post.
