2.0 Understanding Events

An event initiates an action in a process by matching one of the following:

  • Trigger - Triggers evaluate events to determine whether to start a process or append the event to an existing work item (an instance of a running process). A single event might trigger multiple processes. A combination of events can trigger a single process.

  • Wait for Event activity - The Wait for Event activity responds to an event that occurs while a process is running. Typically, each adapter has a customized version of the activity to match events from that adapter. For example, if your Aegis environment has multiple adapters, you might see a Wait for Email Event activity or a Wait for AppManager Event activity.

Aegis provides the following event types:

  • Base event

  • Named event

  • Scheduled event
