Adding a Send Message Event

When you add a Send Message event, you should take into account the following considerations.

Roles

You should add Send Message events in automatic role lanes. You can add Send Message events in user-defined roles but this does not add any information to the process. The engine runs Send Message events without the user's intervention.

Transitions

You must connect the Send Message event to the process flow using an inbound transition. You may add multiple inbound and outbound transitions if necessary.

Argument Mapping

You can define an Argument Mapping for the Send Message event to send information to the process it notifies.
