I can not get the process start with this connector, should we deploy the connector to the camunda server or just add to camunda modeler and deploy?
Hi @Burcak_Aksoz, connectors are treated like other microservices and don’t have to be deployed to the Camunda server but they do need to be configured to connect to a Camunda server. It sounds like you are trying to connect to a Self-Managed instance? If so, you’ll need to provide connection parameters in application.properties see:
Thanks for the guidence. My problem is I can not find the jar file of the connector to add into the connectors in camunda? then I can configure it I suppose? because I only have modeler and there is no configuration in modeler?
You would have to create the jar file as per the readme and then include it in the connector bundle though I wouldn’t recommend it. An easier approach would be to create your own Connector runtime, see: Connector SDK | Camunda 8 Docs. Though you would still need to configure the parameters to connect to your Camunda installation. The email connector includes a test runtime to ease testing. All that is needed are the parameters to connect to the server. Are you using SaaS? Self-Managed?
