Types of BPMN nodes
Letβs explore the key types of BPMN nodes available in FlowX:
- Start and End nodes - Mark the initiation and conclusion of a process flow. A process definition may have multiple start nodes (each linked with a start condition) and end nodes based on the flow outcomes.
- Send Message and Receive Message tasks - Used for communication with external systems, integrations, and plugins.
- Message Events - Capture interactions between different process participants by referencing messages.
- Task nodes - Added when a business rule needs to execute during a process flow.
- User Task nodes - Configure the appearance and behavior of the UI and send data to custom components.
- Exclusive Gateways - Mark decision points in the process flow, determining the branch to be followed.
- Parallel Gateways - Split the process flow into two or more branches occurring simultaneously.
- Subprocess Run Node - A node providing advanced options for starting subprocesses.
