Question

How to configure a service task as an external task in Camunda BPM?

Answer 1

Take a look in the service task documentation.

Here is an extract of the documentation to configure an service task as external.

To declare a Service Task to be handled externally, the attribute camunda:type can be set to external and the attribute camunda:topic specifies the external task’s topic. For example, the following XML snippet defines an external Service Task with topic ShipmentProcessing:

<serviceTask id="anExternalServiceTask"
   camunda:type="external"
   camunda:topic="ShipmentProcessing" />
