I’m running webmodeler in self managed docker compose with connectors bundle 8.6.8
On the web modeler:
- Where can I see all available connector templates? Are they fetched realtime from the connectors bundle or from the online marketplace? It seems like its unable to fetch templates from marketplace actually. Where can I find those logs to figure out the root cause?
- A sample bpmn I uploaded with a Kafka message start element fails to find the template for that element even though Kafka connector is included in the bundle.
- How can I get all ootb templates to work in web modeler? Shouldn’t this be working “out of the box” without any tweaks?!
- How can I fetch and install more templates from the marketplace?
- Is a production license required to be able to use ootb connector templates in web modeler?
Btw, I have tried desktop modeler too by copying the json templates to the designated folder and that doesn’t work either.
Any help with this? Does anyone know where to check marketplace connection logs?
Webmodeler webapp logs don’t show any errors.
You can download connector templates from the Marketplace as described here: Camunda Marketplace | Camunda 8 Docs
In a Self-Managed setup, connector templates are not included in the Web Modeler by default, so you need to download the templates that you are going to use from the Marketplace.

@chillleader what location should I copy the templates into webmodeler docker container after downloading them from marketplace?
Sorry, I think there is a misunderstanding - you don’t need to download them manually and place them into the docker container. The importing happens in the Modeler UI. The templates will be saved in your current project. Please check the doc I linked (there is an example and a screenshot in step 4). Hope that clears things up.
Yes that automatic import isnt happening in the webmodeler when I am running it locally in docker. It cant connect to marketplace for some reason. I have a feeling its due to the company firewall. When I click on that marketplace browse button, it opens up noting and in the error details I see a 404 not found.
If that’s the case, you can download the element templates to your local machine (I believe the Marketplace provides a GitHub link), and then upload the JSON template files to your project in the Web Modeler as described here (this is an example where a BPMN is uploaded but the process should be the same).
Note that you might also need to open the newly uploaded template in the web modeler and click “Publish” before it becomes accessible in the diagram.
