# Message intermediate events overview

> Overview of BPMN message intermediate events for throwing and catching messages within process flows.

An intermediate event is an occurrence situated between a start and an end event in a process or system. It is represented by a circle with a double line. This event can either catch or throw information, and the directional flow is indicated by connecting objects, determining whether the event is catching or throwing information.
