Creating a simple flow in Boomi

🧭 What Is Boomi Flow?

Boomi Flow is a cloud-native workflow automation tool that allows users to:

  • Design interactive applications using a drag-and-drop interface
  • Connect to external systems via Boomi Integration
  • Build workflows that span multiple steps, users, and system

1. Create a New Process

  • Log in to Boomi AtomSphere.
  • Go to Build → Click Create Component → Choose Process.
  • Name your process and click Create.

2. Add Source Connection

  • Drag a Start Shape onto the canvas.
  • Choose the Connector type (e.g., Database, FTP, HTTP).
  • Configure the Connection:
  • Select or create a new connection.
  • Provide credentials, host, port, etc.
  • Choose the Operation:
  • Define what data to retrieve (e.g., SQL query, file path).

3. Add Destination Connection

  • Drag a Connector Shape after the Start.
  • Choose the destination connector (e.g., Salesforce, another DB).
  • Configure the Connection and Operation just like the source.

4. Add a Map Component

  • Drag a Map Shape between source and destination.
  • Create a new Map Component.
  • Select Source Profile (e.g., XML, JSON, DB schema).
  • Select Destination Profile.
  • Drag and drop fields from source to destination to define mappings.
  • You can also use Boomi Suggest to auto-map fields.

5. Add Stop Shape

  • Drag a Stop Shape at the end of the flow.
  • This marks the end of the process.

6. Test and Deploy

  • Save your process.
  • Use the Test Mode to run the flow and check for errors.
  • Once verified, deploy it to your Atom.
