Hi Praveen

There is no OOTB integration or connector component between these two products as of now.

Option 1:

You would have to create a custom AEM service and integrate using its Rest API - which it supports. Here is a community article on how to hook a Restful service into AEM.

Creating Adobe Experience Manager bundles that invoke third party Restful web services

Create a OSGI service or Sling Servlets and write a code to send HTTP request GET/POST in it. 

Example Code :-

import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.PostMethod;

String url = "http://www.google.com";
        InputStream in = null;

        try {
            HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
            PostMethod method = new PostMethod(url);

            //Add any parameter if u want to send it with Post req.
            method.addParameter("p", "apple");

            int statusCode = client.executeMethod(method);

            if (statusCode != -1) {
                in = method.getResponseBodyAsStream();
            }

Option 2:

Coveo can be programmed using JAVAScript API. We can use Java-scripting in AEM to achieve the needful.

I hope this would help you. 

Thanks and Regards
