Celonis Product Documentation

Connecting to Coupa (extractor)

You can connect your Coupa tenant to the Celonis Platform, allowing you to integrate your procurement, invoicing, expenses, and payment data. This connection is managed through the extractor builder, either using the Coupa cloud extractor template or a process connector template for specific accounts payable and purchase-to-pay processes. By connecting your Coupa tenant, you grant the Celonis Platform read-only access to your data, with any data shared through HTTPS, ensuring an encrypted information exchange.

For more information about using the process connector template to integrate your Coupa accounts payable and purchase-to-pay processes, see: Using process connector templates.

Prerequisites for connecting to Coupa

Before connecting to your Coupa tenant, you must meet the following prerequisites:

  • OAuth: Coupa uses the OAuth 2.0 authentication method, meaning that you must create an OAuth client and have access to the client ID, client secret, and OIDC scope.

    You can create OAuth credentials by navigating to your Coupa instance OAuth page:

    https://<yourinstance>.coupahost.com/oauth2/clients

    For more information, see: Coupa Compass Documentation - OAuth 2.0 Transition Guide.

  • Allowlist Celonis Platform IPs and domains: If your Coupa instance is only reachable within a certain IP range, you need to allowlist the outbound IPs of the Celonis Platform, otherwise data cannot be extracted. The IPs of the Celonis Platform are different depending on the cluster (eu-1 or us-1).

    For more information, see: Allowlisting domain names and IP addresses

Creating a data connection between Coupa and the Celonis Platform

With access to your Coupa OAuth authentication credentials, you can create a data connection between your Coupa instance and the Celonis Platform from your data pool diagram:

    • Advanced settings: Configure your pseudonymization algoritm and enable custom metadata if you want to extract custom tables and columns from Coupa. For more information, see: Adding custom tables and columns to Coupa extraction.

  5. Click Test Connection and correct any issues highlighted.

  6. Click Save.
