Adding a new node
Once you create a new process definition, you can start configuring it by adding new nodes.
You can choose between a series of available node types below. For an overview of what each node represents, see BPMN 2.0 basic concepts:
What's a BPMN node?
A BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) node is a visual representation of a point in your process. Nodes are added at specific process points to denote the entrance or transition of a record within the process. FlowX supports various node types, each requiring distinct configurations to fulfill its role in the business flow.

Steps for creating a new node
To create a new node on an existing process:
Open FlowX.AI Designer and from the Processes tab select Definitions.
Select your process definition or create a new one.
Make sure you are in edit mode.
Drag and drop one or more node elements.
To connect the node that you just created:
- Click the node, select the arrow command
- Click the node that you wish to link to the newly added node
Depending on the type of the node, you can define some node details, and a set of values (stages, data stream topics, key name) and you can also add various actions to it.
