Executing the Process Flow

You can execute a process flow either manually or using a particular event.

Executing the Process Flow Manually

To execute the process flow manually, select the process flow from the Manage Process Flow screen and then click Execute. For more information, click here.

Executing the Process Flow using Event

To execute the process flow using an event, do the following:

1. Create the required event activity
2. Bind the Process Flow with an Event Activity
3. Activate Event Activity

Creating Event Activity

An Event is used to define a condition for the process flow to execute it automatically. For example, if you want to execute the process flow when an email from a particular sender or with a particular subject arrives in your mailbox, you need to create a Mail Event activity.

Similarly, if you want process flow to be executed when a record is inserted in a particular table of a database, you need to create a Database Event activity.

Binding Process Flow with Event

To bind the process flow with the event, you need to create an Event Registry. Event Registry defines which process flow is triggered when conditions defined in the event are met. For more information, click here.

Activating Event

After creating the event and binding it with the process flow, activate the event. To activate the event, select the event on the Manage Event screen, and click Activate link. For more information, click here.
