Hi folks!
Two important bits to understand connectors:
- Run-time wise connectors are behavior, implemented in either job workers, or connector functions
- Modeling wise, connectors are element templates / connector templates. Element templates are already available as a feature in the Desktop modeler.
You can already use connector run-times if you use Camunda SaaS, however the specific templates for our out-of-the-box connectors won’t be available to the Desktop Modeler (yet). We simply do not ship them to date.
In the near future we’re going to open up our connector eco-system and make connectors available for self-managed, too. Part of it is to publish the element templates for our out-of-the-box connectors in a way that you can add them to the desktop modeler, too. Once we have it, you’ll get the full connectors experience our Desktop Modeler, too.
Hope that helps!
