Use [Camunda 8 Connectors](../../connectors/introduction.md) to access a growing range of external services or communication protocols.

The Desktop Modeler fetches templates for [pre-built Connectors](../../connectors/out-of-the-box-connectors/available-connectors-overview.md) [automatically](#automatic-connector-template-fetching) and makes them available for use in your Camunda 8 BPMN processes.

You can [disable this feature](#disable-automatic-connector-template-fetching) and [provide Connector templates manually](#add-connector-templates-manually) for full control over the building blocks the modeler should offer.

## Automatic Connector template fetching

The modeler fetches and updates templates for [pre-built Camunda connectors](../../connectors/out-of-the-box-connectors/available-connectors-overview.md) periodically [from the Camunda Marketplace](https://marketplace.camunda.com/en-US/listing?pl=3038&attr=20486&cat=107792&locale=en-US). This happens automatically, in the background, unless you [explicitly disable it](#disable-automatic-connector-template-fetching).

## Add Connector templates manually

For full control over building blocks offered by the Desktop Modeler, download templates for individual Camunda 8 Connectors manually, i.e. through the [Camunda Marketplace](https://marketplace.camunda.com/).
