Our Story
RC2FM Connector is the brainchild of Automation USA, LLC and was developed as an effort to propel the FileMaker platform into the Cloud age.
​
As long term FileMaker developers, FileMaker Business Alliance Partners, and also RingCentral Partners, we saw a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between two worlds. RC2FM Connector is among the first FileMaker integrations of its kind.
Our Product
RC2FM Connector is a subscription service enabling bolt-on RingCentral Cloud Telephony Integration (CTI) for apps developed in Claris FileMaker.
​
With features like single tap/click dialing, 2-way SMS/MMS, 2-way e-faxing, call logging, and the ability to download and store voicemails, faxes, and call recordings inside FileMaker data containers, our integration lets RingCentral users manage all their call related activities from within their own custom app.
Technology
Our integration leverages RingCentral's REST APIs to quickly connect any RingCentral business phone system (PBX) to any compatible FileMaker custom application.
​
RC2FM Connector is also a 100% Cloud based service deployed on Amazon's AWS infrastructure, providing scalable, secure, and global availability.
VoIP CALLING
Click/tap to call. Start an outbound call from any FileMaker supported device and pick up your call on any smart phone, desk phone, cordless, or RingCentral app.
2-WAY MESSAGING
Send and receive SMS and MMS messages right from FileMaker in near-real time.
Turn your FileMaker custom app into a full-fledged business messaging app. Just snap a photo and send using your business caller ID.
MESSAGE RETRIEVAL
Download call history, store voicemails and call recordings as MP3s, and store faxes as PDFs (incoming and outgoing) inside container fields within your FileMaker custom app.
2-WAY E-FAXING
Send/receive digital Faxes directly into and out of
your FileMaker app's data containers.
Or select from your device's photo library or file system.
Your look and feel
RC2FM Connector is a backend service that offers no user interface. We provide the connectivity, you as a FileMaker developer provide the customized look and feel.

Great compatibility
Compatible with all platforms
All RC2FM features run on all platforms where FileMaker offers a native client.
This includes iOS, macOS, and Windows.
Great Integration
Bolt-On
Connect using FileMaker Scripts and store data in native FileMaker tables. Get started quickly by pasting scripts and tables from our sample file. It's as easy as 1-2-3.
No Plugins
RC2FM works natively on iOS because it needs no plugins. While plugins are great for extending functionality, they impose the use of Server or Desktop technology.
No CWP Coding
RC2FM requires no php coding or complicated CWP installations. RC2FM works great on apps that are not hosted, and it works even better on apps hosted on FileMaker Server.
100% Cloud
We have invested in expanding our market by deploying RC2FM as a scalable Cloud integration available across multiple redundant regions on AWS. All you need is an Internet connection.
One low rate includes all standard features and functionality.
What's more, each user is allowed up to three (3) concurrent connections on three separate devices.
For example, a user may connect to RC2FM on an iPad, an iPhone and a Mac and count as just one (1) user.
