Events

In BPMN there are start events, intermediate events and end events. These three event types can be catching events or throwing events. Intermediate events can be used as boundary events on tasks, in which case they can be interrupting or non-interrupting. This gives you a lot of flexibility to use events in your processes.

Understanding BPMN Events

To help understand the principle behavior of events in BPMN, we recommend to check the Events: Basic Concepts chapter of the BPMN Modeling Reference.
