Element Template for Connector

As Dev, I want to create an element template for a service task which is implemented as connector (i.e. Implementation = Connector). Regarding this, I need to bind a string to ‘camunda:connectorId’. Additionally, I want to specify the input/output mapping for the connector.

<bpmn:serviceTask id="connector-1" camunda:modelerTemplate="connector-template">
      <bpmn:extensionElements>
        <camunda:connector>
          <camunda:inputOutput>
            <camunda:inputParameter name="in">in</camunda:inputParameter>
            <camunda:outputParameter name="out">out</camunda:outputParameter>
          </camunda:inputOutput>
          <camunda:connectorId>connector-id</camunda:connectorId>
        </camunda:connector>
      </bpmn:extensionElements>
    </bpmn:serviceTask>

Sorry for the late response.

No additional thoughts. Exactly what we have in mind, too.

Sure.

So easy use case: http-connector

Connector’s ID and its Input and Output mappings: So that instead of having to manually populate such as the following, we can use a template.

So using the template would configure the http-connector for the user based on the specific template.

Similar to the Mail Template example, additional template fields could be used to populate input variables for specific configurations that the user is making. Example: A http-connector to look up the weather in a City, and the template field allows to type a City’s Name, vs another template what uses the same web service but is configured to look up the weather for all cities in a provided country.
