OpenConnector

The integration layer for Nextcloud. REST and SOAP sources, plus Dutch government-standard connectors. Pulls data from your existing systems into typed registers without writing glue code.

OpenConnector is an open-source integration app for the Nextcloud workspace. It connects REST and SOAP sources — including Dutch government-standard adapters for PDOK, StUF-ZKN/BG, DSO/Omgevingsloket, and Berichtenbox — to OpenRegister, transforms payloads through configurable mappings, and schedules automated sync jobs with webhook, cron, or manual triggers. It also exposes endpoints, consumers, and business rules, so government teams can build integrations without a separate ESB. Released under EUPL-1.2 and maintained by Conduction since 2019.
What it does

No middleware. No nightly batch.

Configure a source, map fields to a register schema, set the trigger (webhook, schedule, manual), and OpenConnector keeps the register filled. Bidirectional: pushes back to the source when the register changes.

REST and SOAP, one config UI.

Configure a source once — REST/JSON, XML, or SOAP — with shared authentication (API key, OAuth, JWT, username/password) and rate limiting. Same configuration shape across all of them.

Schema-aware mapping.

Drop a register's JSON Schema in, OpenConnector generates the field mapping UI. Validation happens at the connector before the register is touched.

Triggers: webhook, schedule, manual.

Real-time webhooks for source systems that can push, cron-style schedules for those that can't, manual run for migration cut-overs. Mix and match.

Audit trail per record.

Every processed record keeps an audit trail — source, target, fields touched — surfaced on the object and queryable through the endpoint's audit-trail route.

Bidirectional sync.

OpenConnector pushes register changes back to the source when configured. Your zaaksysteem stays the system of record; the register is the queryable surface.

Three ways OpenConnector earns its place

Source to register, observed end to end.

Scroll the cards. Each pins as you reach it; the next slides up to cover.

REST, SOAP, and Dutch gov standards

PDOK, StUF, DSO, Berichtenbox — built in.

OpenConnector pulls from REST and SOAP sources, with adapters for PDOK Locatieserver, StUF-ZKN/BG, DSO/Omgevingsloket, and Berichtenbox. Configure a source, point at a target register, and the data flows. No middleware, no glue code.

Typed end to end

Lands in OpenRegister, validated on arrival.

Every record is mapped to a typed register schema. Bad data is rejected at the door, good data shows up in catalogue and dashboard the same minute.

See OpenRegister
Observed

Watch every run, retry the failures.

Each pipeline run logs to a register row. Failures are visible in LaunchPad, replays are a click. No black-box scheduler.

Widgets we ship

On every Nextcloud dashboard.

Install OpenConnector and the home screen tells you what is flowing, what is failing, and what needs a retry. Operations stays a one-tab job.

How OpenConnector plugs into the workspace

Built for Dutch government integrations.

OpenConnector ships adapters for the standards Dutch municipalities actually run, plus the operational plumbing — dead-letter capture and a rule pipeline — that keeps an integration reliable.

Purpose-built adapters normalize PDOK Locatieserver lookups into OpenRegister address objects, speak StUF-ZKN/BG XML for municipal back-office systems, talk to DSO/Omgevingsloket, and connect to Berichtenbox for government mail.
