Celonis Intelligence API: Get the process mining insights you need in the apps you know
Celonis is bringing the power of process mining insights to more people with the Celonis Intelligence API. Using the API, developers can embed Celonis EMS intelligence directly into the information systems used across the enterprise, such as Salesforce and ServiceNow.
“The Intelligence API highlights how Celonis is reinventing process mining by making this critical technology more accessible and open to the entire organization,” said John Santic, Director of Product Marketing. “The API will enable our customers to enhance their applications and reach more people with the value of Celonis.”
The Intelligence API was first announced at Celosphere 2022, the company’s annual user event. The API is key to enabling Celonis Experiences and the company’s vision to meet customers on any platform where they work with actionable insights.
The Celonis EMS Connector for Power BI, the first product for Celonis Experiences for Microsoft, was also announced at Celosphere 2022. The EMS Connector for Power BI embeds Celonis insights and content directly into Microsoft’s Power BI data analytics software.
The Intelligence API entered general availability in March 2023.

Improved targeting and relevance of insight distribution: Process intelligence is shared in context and with the right people, right when they need it.
Improved Developer Experience: Clear and comprehensive API documentation
Potential use cases for the Celonis Intelligence API
The Intelligence API lets developers connect the power of Celonis to any IT system, productivity tool or digital application. For example, the Intelligence API can be used to:

Bring predictive credit limit suggestions into your daily ServiceNow workflows,
Monitor and adjust customer interactions with your digital commerce platform in real time using the Emporix Commerce Execution Platform (CXP) powered by Celonis, or
