This is a credential-based connection. You provide your Signavio editor URL, tenant, and a Signavio account login so Duvo can read process content from your workspace and create new diagrams in it when you export from Clarity.
Setup
Confirm prerequisites
An SAP Signavio workspace, and an administrator who can manage users and access rights in it.
The API Edition license assigned to the account you connect with (free from SAP — see the walkthrough). On workspaces with SSO enforced, this means a dedicated non-SSO technical user, because API-licensed users are the only ones who can sign in with a local password when SSO is on.
Your Signavio Workspace ID (also shown as “Tenant ID”) and the editor base URL for your region (for example,
https://editor.signavio.com).Grant the required permissions
Grant the connecting account access to the folder(s) whose processes Duvo should use. Duvo both reads process content and exports Clarity processes as new diagrams, so grant Read + Write (codes
R + W) on the target folder. Read-only (R) access is enough if you only want Duvo to read processes, but the Clarity → Signavio export will fail without Write (W). Publish (P) is only needed if you want exports published into the Collaboration Hub.Add the connection in Duvo
On the Connections page, open SAP Signavio and fill in these fields:
The base URL of your Signavio editor for your region (for example,
https://editor.signavio.com; US workspaces use https://app-us.signavio.com).Your Signavio Workspace ID — the
t= value in your Signavio URL, or find it under Help → Workspace information.The username (usually an email) of the API-enabled account — the technical user is recommended.
The local Signavio password for that account.
Detailed setup walkthrough
A step-by-step version of the setup above. Use this if you’re new to Signavio administration or want to verify each step before moving on.Step 1 — Find your Workspace ID
Step 1 — Find your Workspace ID
The Workspace ID (shown as “Tenant ID” in Duvo) identifies your Signavio workspace. You’ll need it when you request the API Edition license and when you fill out the connection fields.
- Easiest: it’s the
t=query parameter in your Signavio URL on any hub page — for examplehttps://editor.signavio.com/p/hub?t=<your-workspace-id>. - Alternatively: in the Process Manager Explorer, open the top menu Help → Workspace information.
Step 2 — Request the API Edition license from SAP
Step 2 — Request the API Edition license from SAP
API access is governed by the API Edition license. It is free, does not consume a paid seat, and is API-only (an API Edition user cannot sign in to the Signavio web editor). It must be requested from SAP once per workspace.Open a support case in SAP for Me on component
BPI-SIG-CA-API (“REST-API for SAP Signavio”), asking SAP to add the API Edition license to your workspace. Include your Workspace ID and your region (for example, EU / editor.signavio.com). SAP adds the license to the workspace at no charge — once it’s available, it can be assigned to a user in the next step.Step 3 — Create a dedicated technical user
Step 3 — Create a dedicated technical user
SAP recommends a single non-personal technical user per integration, rather than reusing a person’s login. This keeps the integration working when people leave and is required when SSO is enforced.
- In the Process Manager Explorer, open Setup → Manage users & access rights (user management).
- Invite a new user with a role-based email you control (for example,
signavio-integration@yourcompany.com). - The technical user sets a local Signavio password via the registration email link. This local password — not an SSO login — is what you enter in Duvo.
On workspaces with SSO enforced, only users holding the API Edition license can sign in with a local password. That is why a dedicated API technical user is the supported pattern for SSO tenants — a normal SSO-provisioned user has no usable local password for the API.
Step 4 — Assign the license and folder access
Step 4 — Assign the license and folder access
- In user management, open the technical user and assign only the API Edition license from the license dropdown (no other license is needed).
- Grant the technical user access to the folder(s) whose processes Duvo should use. Duvo both reads process content and exports Clarity processes as new diagrams, so grant Read + Write (codes
R+W) on the target folder.

Capabilities
This connection reads process knowledge from Signavio and can export a process mapped in Clarity into your workspace as a new diagram.- Read process models — Retrieve BPMN process diagrams and their details from your Signavio workspace.
- Browse the process repository — Explore the folder and collection hierarchy to see how processes are organized.
- Look up dictionary entries — Read Signavio Dictionary items: the reusable terms, roles, systems, and documents referenced across your processes.
- Export a Clarity process to Signavio — Turn a process you’ve mapped in Clarity into a new BPMN 2.0 diagram in your Signavio workspace, matching your existing modeling conventions. Each export creates a fresh diagram in your repository’s Preview view, ready to review and refine.
Key Benefits
- Ground automations in real processes — Agents work from your documented, approved processes instead of guessing how a workflow should run.
- Bring Clarity processes into Signavio — Export a process Duvo helped you map as a ready-to-review BPMN diagram, without redrawing it by hand.
- One source of truth — Every Agent references the same process models and definitions your team already maintains in Signavio.
