Add events in process automation
- Updated: 2025/07/02
Use events such as Start, End, or Go to in process automation workflows to manage the flow and organization of the process.
Creating a structured process with Start and End events involve clearly defining the workflow’s beginning and conclusion to ensure smooth execution and proper flow control.
In a process workflow, every business process must have at least one Start event and one End event. Start events are flow elements that define the starting point of a process, triggering the workflow to begin—often based on a form submission or input variables. Whereas, End events mark the process’s conclusion, indicating that all required actions have been completed and the workflow can terminate. When you create a new business process, a start event and an end event is created by default on the editor.
You can create multiple start points in a business process, allowing for various ways to initiate a process instance based on the chosen start event. By using multiple start events, you can create different methods for starting a process without the need to generate separate processes for each method.
You can use Go to in a business process workflow, as it enables the workflow to jump directly to a specific step or section within the process. This allows efficient navigation, reduces redundancy by reusing existing logic, and supports complex branching and looping structures.
