SimpleTalk Overview
With the SimpleTalk plugin, FileMaker can use various Internet protocols (TCP, UDP, DICOM) and Bluetooth Low Energy to communicate with other solutions, applications, and peripherals.
- Create your own server or client
- Let two FileMaker solutions communicate with each other
- Easily integrate FileMaker with other software
- Run custom scripts on connection, disconnection, and received data
- Connect to and control compatible hardware, such as printers, thermometers, or sensors
- Use SimpleTalk on macOS, Windows, and iOS

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
Are you looking for a secure way to communicate without internet access? Do you have a BLE peripheral that you want to control directly from FileMaker? With SimpleTalk 4.0, you can do so easily.
- Scan for nearby BLE-enabled peripherals
- Connect to them
- Read advertised data
- Subscribe to notifications
- Send commands
- Make your solution act as a virtual peripheral
- Customize the plugin with scan filters and optional security features
- Use the included example database to get started quickly
Enhanced Security with TLS
SimpleTalk now supports secure internet connections. A SimpleTalk server can be configured to use an SSL certificate, allowing clients to verify its identity and establish a trusted connection.
This is especially important if you intend to send sensitive data, such as usernames and passwords, over the connection.
Faster Communication with UDP
SimpleTalk 4.0 adds support for UDP messaging. With this simple Internet protocol, your solution can send packets to a single target or broadcast them to multiple devices.
Create a UDP server in FileMaker and receive data from other machines over a local network or the Internet.
Medical Imaging (DICOM)
With DICOM Modality Worklist support, SimpleTalk is also suitable for hospitals and medical imaging facilities. Connect your medical imaging equipment to FileMaker, allowing devices to automatically retrieve patient information and scheduled examinations directly from your database. This saves time and reduces the risk of errors associated with manual data entry.
