In this example, we’ve built a simple POST request to Postman Echo, which is a free tool offered by Postman to test API calls. Creating a POST request in the “Insert from URL” script step can take some trial and error, but can quickly become an effective tool in a developer’s toolbox with some practice. The POST request is one of the primary functions of any API. We’re also using a navigation module we’ve built that utilizes the JavaScript functionality introduced in FileMaker 19. ![]() In this new version of the cURL demo, we took the same demo from the cURL blog post and gave it some updates, applied a new theme, and added the feature to send HTML emails using the SMTP(S) protocol introduced in FileMaker 18.
