Answer from AI

In BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation), events are elements that indicate something happening and affecting the process. The main types of events:

  • Start Events — initiate the process. For example, receiving a message, a timer, or a signal.
  • Intermediate Events — occur during the process and can influence the flow, such as waiting for a message, a timer, or an error.
  • End Events — signify the completion of a process or a process branch.

Each event can have different triggers or results, such as:

  • Message
  • Timer
  • Error
  • Signal
  • Conditional

Events help model the process's reaction to external and internal factors, providing flexibility and manageability of business processes.
