Message Throw Intermediate Event

quick intro

What is it? It's like throwing a message to tell someone about something. After throwing the message, the process keeps going, and other parts of the process can listen to that message.

Why it is important? The Message Throw Intermediate Event is important because it allows different parts of a process to communicate and share information with each other.

Configuring a Message Throw Intermediate Event

A Message Throw Intermediate Event is an event in a process where a message is sent to trigger a communication or action with another part of the process (can be correlated with a catch event). It represents the act of throwing a message to initiate a specific task or notification. The event creates a connection between the sending and receiving components, allowing information or instructions to be transmitted. Once the message is thrown, the process continues its flow while expecting a response or further actions from the receiving component.
