Connect external database to camunda

Hello,
Can we connect external database like Mysql, SQLserver etc to the camunda ? and fetch the data from the database and based on the data fetched the workflow proceeds…is it possible and can u tell how to connect the external database to camunda if possible

Hi @shashanka_1903,

the high level steps are:

  1. Create a service task in the process
  2. Write some glue code utilizing JDBC (or the technology of your programming language) to access the database.
  3. Connect the glue code with the service task.

You can find the entry point in this getting started guide: Executing automated steps (2/6) | docs.camunda.org

Hope this helps, Ingo
