SAP Cloud Platform Workflow (Skills)

Celonis Process Automation natively integrates with SAP Cloud Platform Workflow. Instances of SAP Cloud Platform Workflows can be created right from a Skill in Celonis Process Automation

Skills Deprecation

From October 2, 2023, Skills with an equivalent Action Flow module won't be available in teams by default. They'll still work in your existing apps, you just can't use them in new ones. We encourage you to use Action Flows going forward. If you can't move to Action Flows right now, or there's a particular Skill that you rely on, contact the support team.

SAP Cloud Platform Workflow - Overview

SAP Cloud Platform Workflow allows you to build, run, and manage workflows, from simple approvals to end-to-end processes that span across different organizations and applications. With an inbox application, forms and custom-built user interfaces, you involve end users into business processes for decision making and data entry. The workflow service comes with web-based tools for workflow and form modeling, APIs for consumption in custom applications, monitoring tools, and a set of Fiori-based applications for end-user access. You can use JavaScript to embed custom business logic. You can find more information about SAP Cloud Platform Workflow here.

Celonis Process Automation natively integrates with SAP Cloud Platform Workflow both in the Cloud Foundry as well as in the NEO environment.
