Event Management - Event Types and Uses

In Kuika's Process Automation module, event management plays an important role for triggering business processes and responding to specific events. Events enable actions to be taken according to certain situations in workflows. For example, they are used for scenarios such as a process that needs to be automatically triggered on a specific date and time, or a step that is waiting for a specific input from the user. Event types are activated at different stages of business processes and support the dynamic and efficient operation of the processes.

Event Types and Uses

1. Start Event

It is the event that determines the start of the workflow. It is the first step for starting processes and can be triggered manually or automatically.

Usage Scenario:

• A start event can be defined for a campaign process to be started on a specific date.
• The Create Start Event in theProcess Automation module determines the starting point of the workflow.

2. End Event

Ensures the completion of the workflow. When all steps in the process are completed, the end event is reached and this event determines the end of the workflow.

Usage Scenario:

• It can be used for automatic notification or report generation when the business process is completed.
• Create End Event determines the point at which the workflow is completed and closes the process.

3. Timer Event

An event that takes action according to a specific time or period trigger.

Usage Scenario:

• A work step that needs to be approved after a certain period of time.
• Start an automated reporting process at a certain time every day.
• Create Timer Event initiates events that require a time-based trigger.

4. Conditional Event

An event triggered when a certain condition is met in the workflow.

Usage Scenario:

• Used when the manager's approval is required when a certain amount is exceeded in a sales process.
• Create Exclusive Gateway creates a point of separation in the workflow, allowing a single path to be selected according to certain conditions.
• For example, for options such as “approved” or “rejected” in the approval process, the correct routing is done using Exclusive Gateway.

5. Parallel Event

Allows multiple tasks or processes to be started simultaneously in the workflow.

Usage Scenario:

• Allows simultaneous execution of tasks by branching the workflow.
• Create Parallel Gateway allows tasks to be executed simultaneously and all paths are started simultaneously.
• For example, in an order process, it can be used to start the shipping and invoice processes simultaneously after the order is confirmed.

Kuika Process Automation makes business processes more flexible, controlled and efficient thanks to event management, allowing processes to proceed automatically.
