Send message to another logged in user?

[Matthew R White]

Is there a script step to send a message to another filemaker user thats currently logged in?

Thanks!

Not directly that I'm aware of...

For what purpose? There are some Instant Messaging scripts / techniques that can be used...

Here?

Use instant message. The Chat has been removed

Pretty sure he meant within his FileMaker environment...

Not sure, they need to be more explicit when they ask questions. Otherwise it becomes a WAG.

i.e. share what they know so that we know.

He asked about a script step in the Scripts forum. I think the question was sufficiently precise.

The solution is not as simple as a script step, it's more of a project that you'll have to build or buy. It will be a bit of a challenge to build if you're a novice, but would be a great learning exercise.

I'd start here:

Or another tutorial here:

There are a few such solutions that you can buy, such as FMChat from seedcode.com.

You could also use plug-ins for this, such as Troi Activator or 360Works RemoteScripter.

Or you could just use slack!
