Feature Highlights

  • Easy Integration
  • Automated Process Triggers 
  • Task Synchronization 
  • Decision Automation  
  • Real-Time Monitoring  

The connector is supposed to integrate Power Automate Desktop flows and Camunda BPM without requiring extensive coding or API management. Automated process triggers initiate Camunda processes directly from Power Automate Desktop, so that tasks such as document processing or data entry can be automized. By combining both tools, one can utilize Camunda's decision automation capabilities within Power Automate workflows, allowing for complex decision logic to be incorporated into automated processes.

The 'Get token' function securely accesses Azure services by obtaining authentication tokens from Azure App Registration using specific parameters. These tokens are essential for API call authorization within Azure's ecosystem.

The 'Run desktop flow' function provides a seamless integration between Camunda and the Power Platform by enabling direct execution of desktop flows from Camunda workflows in Power Automate. This facilitates the automation of desktop and web applications, since Power Automate Desktop flows are orchestrated with Camunda-defined business logic. This boosts the efficiency and scalability of automated processes.

Task Synchronization ensures that workflows are seamlessly updated and managed across both platforms. The status of automated processes and tasks can be monitored and managed in real-time directly from Power Automate Desktop. These features empower IT teams to optimize processes, increase productivity and improve operational efficiency.

Orchestrating complex automation workflows between Camunda and the Power Platform is facilitated by the 'Add item to work' queue function. It queues tasks or items in Power Automate for subsequent processing by desktop flows, aligned with Camunda's automation logic. This enhances task execution efficiency and system integration, ensuring seamless operations.
