System events

It is possible to connect a machine workflow to a specific event that occurs on the Flow server.

Examples of this can be when a user is added to Flow a machine workflow that sends an email to the user will be executed, or when a user steps over a log point in a workflow a machine workflow will be executed that commit the data to an appropriate data source. Connect a workflow to a system event by either Pick an already existing machine workflow or click on New to create and connect a new machine workflow. Choose a user that will be the executor of the machine workflow.

Observe that only machine users will appear in the list of users that can execute a system event.

Create system event workflows with the New button to get event specific parameters generated in the start step.

• Start workflow: The machine workflow will be executed when all workflows is started.

• End workflow: The machine workflow will be executed when all workflows is ended.

• Add user: The machine workflow will be executed when a user is added.

• Remove user: The machine workflow will be executed when a user is removed.

• Log point: The machine workflow will be executed when a log point is stepped over in a running workflow application, read more about log points here.

• Handover: The machine workflow will be executed when the workflow hands over to another swim lane.

• Device Status Changed: The machine workflow will be executed when a new device request is sent to the Flow environment, read more about device management here.

• Help Request: The machine workflow will be executed when a new help request is registered, read more about help request here.
