Add the required events to the flow. An event is something that happens during the process. Events affect the flow of the process and usually have a cause or an impact and in general require or allow for a reaction. You can use these types of events:

• Start: the usual start of a flow.
• Start timer: the flow is started when a time condition is true.
• Start message: the flow is started when a specified message is received.
• Intermediate: explicitly indicates an important state change or milestone in the flow.
• End: the usual end of a flow.
• Cancel: indicates that the flow is canceled, usually following a gateway.
• Error: indicates where to go if an error or unexpected exception occurs.
