- For example, download a Postman collection as a YAML file, import this into the generator, and choose which methods to include in the generated template.
To learn more about generating Connector templates, see generate a Connector template.

Unified deployment experience for Web Modeler Self-ManagedModeler
Deployment stages
Predefined deployment stages for process applications are now also available in Web Modeler Self-Managed.
- Select your dev, test, stage, and prod clusters to ensure process applications flow easily and predictably through your deployment pipeline.
- For added control, do not assign a stage or prod environment to enable rapid iteration in Web Modeler while still ensuring deployments run through your approved pipeline.
Simplified deployment
The deployment experience for Enterprise customers running Web Modeler Self-Managed is simplified.
- During Camunda installation, you can configure your Helm chart to decide which clusters are available from Web Modeler by default, and save their connection information.
- With this setup, you only need to select a cluster, and add secrets and a tenant ID as required.
