In SAP Cloud Integration, adapters facilitate communication with external systems. The SAP Ariba and SAP SuccessFactors adapters are both capable of acting as sender adapters. The Ariba adapter can be configured to receive documents (e.g., cXML) from the Ariba Network, initiating an integration flow. Similarly, the SuccessFactors adapter can be configured in a sender channel to receive data or events from the SuccessFactors system, for instance, using the OData V2 protocol for event-driven scenarios. This allows SAP Cloud Integration to be triggered by actions within these SAP applications.

A. Twitter: The Twitter adapter is exclusively a receiver adapter, used for sending messages (posting tweets) from an integration flow to Twitter.

B. Facebook: The Facebook adapter is only a receiver adapter, designed to post content from an integration flow to a Facebook page.
