Camunda Connectors can communicate with any system or technology, reducing the time needed to automate and orchestrate business processes. With our bi-directional connectivity, users can invoke outside systems using BPMN service tasks or message throw events and trigger actions within Camunda via message catch events or receive tasks. This helps ensure seamless automation across people, systems, and devices in even the most complex business processes.

You can either use out-of-the-box Connectors or build your own using our Integration Framework. For those who build a new Connector, it’s easy to share it with your team, add it to existing projects, or even make it available to the Camunda community.
