FileMaker File Redirect
OttoFMS exposes a url to redirect a user to a FileMaker file and to run a script upon opening that file. This can be useful for OAuth redirects within FileMaker, kicking off a specific action from an external link, or for anything where you may need to pass dynamic arguments to FileMaker from the web.
The FileMaker File Redirect feature is available in OttoFMS 4.7.0 and later.
Usage
The Redirect URL has the following format:
https://<server>/otto/redirect/fm/[filename]/[script-name]?arg1=[value1]&arg2=[value2]&...
To run a script upon opening a file from the redirect url, the user must have
the fmurlscript
extended privilege.
Arguments
filename
: The name of the FileMaker file to open.script
: The name of the script to run.arg
: The arguments to pass to the script. These values are passed into the script as variables with the name of the parameter in the query (eg.?token=abc123
in the url becomes$token="abc123"
in the script).
The filename
and script
parameters are required.
