Events in Orchestration Engine

Events in Orchestration Engine  are actions or conditions that trigger Process Orchestrations. These be internal and external activities or states, like notifications regarding stock levels, quote requests, and many others.

Creating events

To create an event in Orchestration Engine:

  1. Select Start a Process.

    Orchestration Engine process overview screen with the "Create event" option highlighted.

  2. From the side panel, select Create Event.

  3. Specify the Display and Event names.

    • Display name is the name that is visible in the UI when you create a process, for example: Order Created.

    • Event name is the name of the registered event, for example: start-the-process

  4. Save your changes.

    All created events will be available in all processes in the package.

Accessing events in Action Flows

To be part of the orchestrated process, Action Flows must have a completion event in it. You can add it in a dedicated module in an Action Flow:

  1. In your Action Flow module, from the Event type dropdown list, select the completion event.

  2. Complete the module's configuration.

Once the Action Flow is published, active, and set to on-demand, you will be able to select this event to start the Process and see this Action Flow in the process step in your process.
