Turn FileMaker Server into an iCal Server

Publish FileMaker events to iCal

Zulu is an extension for FileMaker Server that lets you see and manipulate your FileMaker calendar records from iCal, Google Calendar, as well as from the calendars on your iPhone, iPad, and Android phone.

Edit FileMaker in your iPhone Calendar.

You can edit your records in iCal and, when you do, youre editing the FileMaker records directly. iCal will even respect FileMakers record locking if someone else is editing the record when you try to do the same.

Freedom: Always have your FileMaker Events with You.

There are no scripts to run when you edit records, and no need to manually keep iCal and FileMaker in sync: with Zulu, iCal is reading your FileMaker records from the server, just like FileMaker does. iCal becomes another FileMaker client.

See Zulu in Action

Zulu works with any FileMaker Pro tables containing dates. In this short video weve hooked it up to SeedCode Calendar to show how you can edit your FileMaker records from within iCal:

Just wanted to drop you a note that the Zulu product and calendar is amazing. It is really going to make a big difference in our business. Thanks for your help.

Sync to Google Calendar

Give everyone their own calendar.

Our newest version of Zulu will sync your FileMaker events to Google Calendar. There are no scripts for you to run or edit: Zulu manages the whole sync process.

Once you’re syncing your events with Google Calendar you can take advantage of all the sharing options Google offers, including the option to embed a calendar on your web site.

Google sync also lets you invite individuals to share your calendar, and offers your calendars to folks on Android phones.

Google Sync in Action (2min)

In all these years I have never seen anyone do anything like this. The application is rock solid and the syncing is working perfectly.

Zulu can even teach iCal to open your related records in FileMaker Go on the iPhone, so you can be looking at your calendar and one click later you’re looking an event’s project records in FileMaker Go. Here is a short article on how to do it, along with a demo video.
