Execute FileMaker Scripts or System Shell Scripts

Toolbox is able to run “Bat” and “Visual Basic” scripts on Windows, and “AppleScript”, “Bash” and “PHP” scripts on Mac, and run a FileMaker script from places where the FileMaker software does not allow it – for example from conditional formatting, validations, and calculation fields just placing your mouse over the element.

Running FileMaker scripts dynamically lets you automate tasks better without requiring user interaction, running external scripts even extends this automation outside of the borders of FileMaker Pro to integrate your solution with other systems.
