Modeling events

Events in IBM Business Process Manager can be triggered by a due date passing, an exception, or a incoming message from an external system. You can add events to your BPDs that can occur at the beginning, during, or at the end of a process. Use events to track data, manage errors, and retrieve information about the execution of your BPDs.

Note: Although the following topics contain information about message events and timer events, information about content events is found in the topic "Inbound events from Enterprise Content Management systems" and its subtopics.
