Description

Performs the request.
Once request is done, you can query the result with SocialRequest.GetResponse function. The plugin calls the given script and passes the request reference number as parameter.
Function requires 64-bit Mac application, so please use FileMaker 14 or newer.


With plugin version 6.0 or newer the script name can be a script ID number. In that case the plugin queries the script name for the given script ID. This allows to call scripts by ID and avoid problems if scripts are later renamed.

Notice: FileMaker 19.2 adds a fmplugin extended privileges. If you have such an extended privileges to allow the plugin to trigger scripts, you need to grant permissions for it. If such a privilege is not defined, the plugin is allowed to trigger scripts. See FileMaker product documentation for details.
