Question

Appian integrated with Kafka

Hello everyone.

I would like to know if it's possible to use Appian as a consumer for a specific Kafka topic.

In our very specific case, let's suppose a user updates an address and the message is replicated to multiple systems, through Kafka.

Our idea was to enable Appian to consume from this topic and these messages.

I tried to configure the Kafka Tools plugin available in the AppMarket, but I can't seem to configure the nodes correctly.

I have a demo instance in Confluent Cloud and I was able to do some producer/consumer tests locally and also via Python Client, but I'm not able to consume anything when it concerns Appian.

Do we have a better way of integrating with a Kafka topic?

Kind regards

I am trying to use this plugin as well. But I can't configure it properly to work. I can't find any documentations on how to use it in appian or how it works

Hi Mr. Agda, if you download the .zip file for the plugin, you'll find a guide inside.

I was able to connect to Confluent Cloud to produce messages, but I wasn't able to consume (you need to install the Transaction Manager in order to properly configure it).
