Using http_connector

BPMN & Modeling Discussion & Questions
1

Dear Community Experts,

I am using standalone Camunda Modeler to create a process flow. I need to model a service task to invoke a REST API and understand that http_connector is the way to go.

Can you please suggest how to use http_connector in my process flow. For now, I am deploying just the .bpmn file from my Camunda Modeler.

Thanks,
Ankit

Hey @Ankit_Srivastava ,

There are more ways to make REST calls from Camunda 7. Connectors are one of them but normally is not the recommended one for Camunda 7. @Niall and I created a project to outline all the different possibilities that exist for making a REST call in Camunda7.

If you are interested in an approach where you can use Connectors, you should have a look at Camunda 8. The whole concept of connectors has been reworked for Camunda 8.

So in a nutshell for Camunda 7 use another implementation to make REST calls and if you want to use Connectors try Camunda 8 instead.

I Hope that helps you to decide on your implementation.
Cheers
Nele
