Introducing Embedded Forms Generator: A Camunda Modeler Plugin for Easier Embedded Form Building

Written by Felix Müller, Mike Winters on , under Modeling category.
Tl;dr We just released a new Camunda Modeler plugin that makes it possible to preview task forms and to automatically generate HTML for embedded task forms–all without leaving the Camunda Modeler. The plugin makes it much faster and easier to do form prototyping at the beginning of a project and then get up and running with an embedded task form. While some workflow automation use cases can be solved with “straight-through processing”–that is, a process where all tasks are completed by software systems and with no manual intervention–we human beings still have an important role to play in many scenarios.

We are happy to announce the Camunda Modeler 2.0 release. The new Modeler ships with major improvements to BPMN editing and another round of minimap enhancements. A brand new properties panel for DMN adds support for Camunda specific properties and allows you to inspect and edit technical DMN properties in one place. Finally, the modeler now ships with signed executables, allowing you to safely employ it, even in locked down, corporate environments on both MacOS and Windows.

RPA and Camunda BPM: Integrate a Software Robot by Using External Tasks

Written by Benjamin Hoffmann on , under Community category.
In my recent post on RPA, I used asynchronous REST calls to integrate UiPath with Camunda. This only works if your RPA solution provides an API that can be used by third-party applications. Since I promised you that there would be a follow-up post, I want to take the opportunity to show you another approach of integrating an RPA tool with Camunda. This time, I decided to try out WorkFusion’s RPA Express, which is available for free.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Camunda BPM: A demo on using UiPath robots within a BPMN workflow

Written by Benjamin Hoffmann on , under Community category.
Having read Mike’s post on why it makes sense to combine RPA products with Camunda BPM, I got curious about prototyping an example with a specific RPA tool. I decided to work with UiPath since it’s been getting a lot of attention from the community. In this post, I want to share what I learned and what I built during my one-week journey into the world of RPA. Scenario The example can be applied to any scenario where you need to replace manual work (the User Task in BPMN) with an automated task and where an external system – often a legacy graphical user interface – does not provide an API that can be called directly from Camunda.
