NEW PLATFORM Secure login access for docs.celonis.com
We're changing how you access this documentation website, docs.celonis.com.
We're introducing secure login access which means you'll need to log in using single sign-on (SSO) credentials. You can use the same SSO credentials you already use for our Community, Academy, and Support portals to access the website and its content.
If you don't currently have SSO credentials or experience issues logging in, please contact Support.
The following updates introduce changes that may not be fully compatible with previous versions.
We’re providing this information ahead of time to help you prepare and make any necessary adjustments before the updates roll out.
May 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026
BREAKING TASK MINING Deprecating API keys in the Task Mining Client software
Important
You must take action if you’re using version 2.16 or earlier of the Task Mining Client software and/or want to continue using Task Mining projects that were created using version 2.16 or earlier of the Task Mining Client software. No action is required for later versions of the Task Mining Client software.
What's changing
We’re removing support for API keys and moving to industry-standard OAuth authentication across the Celonis Platform. This will provide enhanced security, improved integration performance and better scalability and maintainability for upcoming releases.
Action required
May 1, 2026
From May 1, 2026, you won't be able to create new Task Mining projects for versions 2.16 and earlier of the Task Mining Client software. To create new Task Mining projects and to continue to access your existing Task Mining projects, you must update your Task Mining Client software. We recommend using the latest version available.
December 31, 2026
From December 31, 2026, Task Mining projects created using versions 2.16 and earlier of the Task Mining Client software will be permanently disabled.
June 30 to December 15, 2026
BREAKING ADMIN Decommissioning API and application keys: Action required
Important
These changes impact all current users of Celonis public APIs.
If you don’t use APIs or application keys in your applications or in third-party systems for these APIs, these changes will not affect you and no action is required.
Why we’re making these changes
We’re moving away from using API and application keys to the OAuth 2.0 authorization standard to provide a more secure, streamlined and efficient developer journey.
Users currently generate long-term API keys or application keys in the Celonis Platform. These keys are then embedded in applications and allow data to be requested or pushed using Celonis APIs. As these keys typically have a long life, cannot be rotated and their scope cannot be limited, any application with an embedded API or application key can access almost all Celonis APIs.
With OAuth 2.0, scoping means OAuth-enabled clients can access permitted APIs only. This follows the security principle of least privilege so an OAuth client only has the privileges required to perform a certain task.
Timeline
The deprecation of APIs and app keys will happen in phases:
By June 30th 2026, the creation of new app/user keys will be blocked.
Existing app/ users keys will remain valid and may be used.
By mid-December 2026, the use of app/user keys for external integrations (any request coming from outside the Celonis infrastructure) will be blocked.
The use of keys for internal integrations will continue working.
Action required
Given the mentioned timeline, prepare your existing infrastructure in the following way:
Identify any systems and/or applications that use API or application keys.
Migrate these systems and/or applications to OAuth 2.0.
Additional points to consider:
If you were part of the beta program of the Platform Adoption Monitoring App and you're still using AppKeys, you must migrate to OAuth 2.0.
If you use the Celonis User Adoption dashboards, which extract Platform Adoption data through Action Flow, you must migrate to the new Celonis Platform Adoption Monitoring App.
If you build your own Platform Adoption Extractor using the Celonis Platform Adoption Template and you selected AppKey as the authentication method, you must migrate to OAuth.
If you use Celonis Platform Adoption Monitoring App V1.3, no action is required. This version already uses OAuth.
The Platform adoption statistics under Admin & Settings will continue to work. No action is required.
For information on enabling OAuth 2.0 on the Celonis Platform, see Using an OAuth 2.0 token in Celonis.
We're aiming to move to OAuth 2.0 for all Celonis use cases. If you're using other Celonis APIs that already support OAuth 2.0, you can move to OAuth 2.0 for these APIs too. The OAth 2.0 support for Action Flows and on-prem clients is already available.

END OF SUPPORT DATA INTEGRATION Deprecating the SAP on-prem extractor: Plan ahead for 2027
Note
This announcement was updated on 30 June, 2026.
Celonis is officially transitioning away from the legacy SAP On-Premise Extractor (OPE) to our modern On-Premise Client (OPC) framework. This transition allows us to upgrade our infrastructure from legacy, key-based authentication to the secure, industry-standard OAuth protocol.
Technical support will end in early 2027. The exact date for this will be announced before the end of 2026 and include at least three months for migration.
Benefits of the OPC framework
Improved reliability and scalability: Cloud-based data processing makes the OPC service faster, more reliable, and highly scalable.
Simplified setup: You can use the same SAP connection for both data extraction and process automation, eliminating the need for Microsoft Visual C++ 2010.
Automated cloud updates: After installing the client (which acts as a passive mediator and carries no logic), orchestration and processing are managed by a cloud service. This means that in most cases, updates or fixes are cloud-based and are run by Celonis.
What this means for you:
Continued access: Your existing OPE-based data pipelines will remain active and will continue to function. We aren’t shutting off your data flow.
Future end of technical support for OPE: Once the OPC version includes all of the OPE functionality, we will announce an end date for technical support, from which migration will become more important.
No active development: As of April 2026, we have discontinued ongoing development for all OPE-based data pipelines - we are focused only on addressing bug fixes and vulnerabilities.
Recommended action
To ensure your data flow remains fully supported and aligned with our latest security standards, we recommend planning and executing your migration to the modern On-Premise Client (OPC).
If you rely on specific capabilities currently being developed for migration, please be reassured that you will be provided necessary support and enablement to transition once those features are released
