FileMaker Pro Tutorial 14: Updating Records with Add-ons and Webhooks

As a developer, you may have encountered situations where you need to update records in FileMaker Pro using add-ons and webhooks. In this tutorial, we'll explore how to do just that.

To begin, let's assume that you have found a record that needs to be updated. The first step is to search the record data for the UUID and reference value. This will allow you to identify the specific record that needs to be updated.

Next, create a boolean condition to check whether the record exists within the monthly subscription add-on. This can be done using the FileMaker Pro connector's API. If the record exists, update the associated add-on accordingly. On the other hand, if the record does not exist, create a new one.

For example, you might use the following code to check and update records within an add-on:

`curl -X GET 'https:///fmi/data/vLatest/databases//layouts/'`

This will retrieve the data from the specified database and layout. You can then manipulate this data as needed.

The FileMaker Pro connector's API also provides information on how to use webhooks to send preexisting record data to a workflow. This allows you to automate tasks and update records in real-time.
