| Event - Overview |
|
This category is a collection of Process related Event activities. Events are milestones in the progression of a process. |
|
Following are few of the key Event related process components available in the Process Composer. |
| Conditional Event | Event Listener | Wait For Event | Timer Activity |
For a complete list of Process components available in Process Composer, see Process Component Table.
| Conditional Event Activity |
|
This activity is used to monitor process data changes for specific data conditions and can take actions when a condition is satisfied.This activity is typically used when the considered process is required to mandatorily meet the defined condition to proceed further. |
|
Usage Scenario: For the ease of understanding, the usage of Conditional Event activity is better illustrated with the following example scenario. |
| Event Listener Activity |
| This activity is always used in conjunction with the ‘Wait for Event’ activity. This activity should be used to define what event to listen for during a process. The ‘Wait for Event’ activity will then listen for an event that matches this definition and lead to the next step whenever the expected event happens. |
See Associating an Event Listener to a Process.
| Wait For Event Activity |
| This activity is used in conjunction with the ‘Event Listener’ activity to wait for an event defined in the Event Listener activity, and lead to the next step whenever the expected event happens. |
| Timer Activity |
|
A timer activity allows you to add a deliberate delay at any stage in a process. This activity can be used in between the process flow by defining the Delay Timeout value in 'dd.hh:mm' format. |
