Making the Switch from Google SMTP to OAuth for FileMaker Email // Claris Beyond

Google has announced that starting September 30, 2024, all email transmissions through their servers will require OAuth authentication, instead of simple SMTP authentication. This change is part of Google's ongoing efforts to enhance security and protect user data. At the June Meetup we discussed the various factors involved in that change. We reviewed some solutions we're implementing for clients, and we also discussed other approaches you are using. • Using the Google API • Using the OAuth script step available in FileMaker 2023 • Using other SMTP servers instead of Google --------- LINKS: https://www.portagebay.com/blog/turbo... https://www.portagebay.com/blog/how-t...

Our user group’s specific focus will be on topics related to external integrations with FileMaker, such as Claris Connect, REST API integration, or integration via a third-party tool or application. We meet through Zoom on the third Wednesday of each month, for an hour to an hour and a half, starting at 12pm Pacific (2pm CT / 3pm ET). Meetings are a mixture of leader-led discussions, group Q&A, and guest speaker presentations.
