Event based gateway and connectors to task

BPMN & Modeling Discussion & Questions
1

Hi, I’m totally new to Camunda (former Bizagi user in windows, now Camunda in Linux Mint).

I’m modeling a test.
From any Task I can connect to a Gateway (event-based), but from this event-based gateway I can’t connect TO a task or anything (but to a another kind of gateways).

Is a Camunda issue or I don’t know BPMN 2.0?.
How to wait for an Event???

(Sorry for any mistake in english).
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul, this is the expected behavior. The modeler will enforce the BPMN specifications. I have this reference for symbols (below) bookmarked because sometimes we forget the exact semantics, especially for symbols we don’t use often. And when you’re learning its super helpful.

An event-based gateway must have a minimum of two outgoing sequence flows, each leading to an intermediate catch event of type timer, message, or signal.

While the BPMN standard allows an event-based gateway to be followed by a receive task or an intermediate conditional event, Camunda 8 only supports intermediate catch events of the timer, message, or signal types.
