EventScript is a small and clean plug-in distributed as donationware and is available totally free of charge. It can be used to trigger FileMaker scripts from any calculation. By depending on the results of your calculations, EventScript brings essential 'event manageability' to your FileMaker solutions. This is the missing link that users and developers were looking for.

Using our plug-in allows users to trigger any script without the need to click on buttons. The most frequently used field-events are the "before update", the "after update" and the "on dirty" events. But you can also use EventScript almost anywhere, from auto-enter options and validation rules to privileges sets, custom functions, and the Set Field script step, to name a few. Once the event is triggered by a user, EventScript will automatically launch the script of your choice for handling tasks such as auto-protecting your databases, sending an email, or updating a reselling price list. The uses are limited only by your imagination.

EventScript also returns an error flag to signal those cases when the target script could not be launched. This error flag allows you to properly implement error handling for your critical processes.
