Why it is important? The Message Throw Intermediate Event is important because it allows different parts of a process to communicate and share information with each other.

​
Configuring a message throw intermediate event

A Message throw intermediate event is an event in a process where a message is sent to trigger a communication or action with another part of the process (can be correlated with a catch event). It represents the act of throwing a message to initiate a specific task or notification. The event creates a connection between the sending and receiving components, allowing information or instructions to be transmitted. Once the message is thrown, the process continues its flow while expecting a response or further actions from the receiving component.
