We would like to call a php script from a filemaker server as soon as a new record is inserted

Something like a onChange event to be fired when someone add a new booking, or modify it; the idea is to sync an already existing FileMaker Server bookings database with Checkfront (http://www.checkfront.com/) through their API.
We came across script triggers; but we understand they are only available for FileMaker pro and we would like to be using the Filemaker server. We also noted some plugins like Troi’s Activator (http://www.troi.com/software/activatorplugin.html) but it seems we don’t have the right terminology and are not sure if this do the job…

Can someone point us in the right direction?

    Hoping this will help someone and spare a couple of hours digging painfully the FM documentation: there is no way to implement and control the inventory on the FileMaker side the way we thought or planned initially.

    We instead used an ODBC driver to connect directly the Mysql database to the FileMaker application; the mysql tables are then used exactly as if they were native to the FileMaker environnement.
