Nice to meet you, Appian community members!
I'm looking for a no-code/low-code solution in order to properly develop corporate processes in my company. As I know from the recommendations of our colleagues, the Appian platform could be a wise choice for that purpose.
My main question: is there any way to pair/integrate the Appian tool with other enterprise platforms, namely Camunda? Current use case: we need to integrate Camunda technology in a low-code solution for easier business process building.
Looking forward to your response

Depending on your concrete integration scenarios, an API based approach might be a good idea. So you could develop specific (micro-)services in Java/Camunda and then orchestrate these from Appian. That's a very common approach.
IMHO a messaging based approach does not work well for business process automation. Most of the time you are looking at synchronous communication patterns that work better with API calls.
Doable for sure. Though, what I would add is that Appian works best as an integrated platform (People, Process, Data). If you choose a more fragmented architecture (Appian as the low/code tool with Camunda as the BPM orchestration layer) you won't be leveraging the full power of the platform.
Thank you so much, Stefan! You gave me food for thought.
I got your point, Mathieu! Much obliged
