Creating custom connector templates with complex UI

Most connector templates I have run across have a simplified UI that takes in key/value pairs. In some complex cases, you have dropdown options or dynamic values through FEEL expressions. This is great. However, what if I wanted to design a custom connector specific to an industry vertical requiring a more complex connector setup.

Using a concrete example, say at a certain step in a workflow, I want to send out a list of emails. I would like to connect to an existing system to retrieve these users and populate a UI with additional configuration parameters against each user. Such that when the step is executed and the emails are sent out, there is a customization associated with each user.

In other words, is it possible to create a more complex UI for a step template? If anyone can share a screen shot of some complex templates that are possible, I would also appreciate that.

Hi @e28makaveli,

BPMN is much better suited than a connector template.

Create a service task to fetch the user list and use a multi instance service task to send the emails. Maybe wrap the send task in a multi instance subprocess if you want to use a connector to send the emails.

Hope this helps, Ingo
