What Claris Connect is
Claris Connect is a cloud-based integration platform for automating workflows across apps, data sources, and services. Flows combine triggers and actions, with multi-step sequences, conditional logic, webhook triggers, real-time minimum run intervals, loops, stop steps, and error handling. Utility steps can convert CSV files, build JSON objects, work with dates and images, and run calculations. Templates cover tasks such as routing form submissions, managing marketing lists, and sending team notifications. Claris provides prebuilt connectors for hundreds of popular services, including Slack and DocuSign, and users can create custom connectors for REST APIs. An on-premise agent connects sources behind a firewall without exposing them directly to the internet. Connect works with Claris FileMaker and Claris Studio. Security features include end-to-end encryption, Claris ID, OAuth, and multi-factor authentication. Plans include a free tier with 500 steps monthly, Starter at $22 a month, Max at $45 a month, and a Standard license at $20.62 a month.
