Nextcloud Integration with Camunda Workflow Engine
In this video, I demonstrate how Nextcloud can be integrated into the Camunda Workflow Engine and vice-versa by showing a sample workflow for an invoice receipt process.
Note (due to the comments and questions I received): The main purpose of the video was just to show what’s possible and give some idea and spark imagination, therefore my code base used for this demo is not really in a way to be re-used. It’s basically based on the CMIS example from Felix Mueller (https://github.com/camunda-consulting/code/tree/master/snippets/ecm-integrations/invoice-cmis/) but adjusted to WebDAV/Nextcloud, using the Nextcloud WebDAV API (https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/13/developer_manual/client_apis/index.html) and Camunda REST API (https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.5/reference/rest/).
The integration into Nextcloud was then done by creating a custom Nextcloud app, see https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/developer_manual/app/intro.html for details on that in general.
Both Nextcloud and Camunda are open-source projects from companies based in Germany.
