Hey everyone!
When using Camunda 7 Community edition as a standalone platform, right now it appears the only way to send a message is via a script using the RuntimeService().createMessageCorrelation() API.
Is there a diagramatic way to use the Send Task activity, and configure it with my Correlation?
Adding a Send Task, does not really open up any special sections in the Properties Panel.
Just the same things we see when adding a ‘service task’.
Atleast, the intermediate event has a “Message” section added but that does not have a way define correlation either, so please share any details on how this can be done.
I believe that there is no other way to do this at this moment, because as Camunda’s own documentation informs, this element has the same behavior as a “Service task”, and therefore, they must be treated in the same way.
Great answer, thanks for sharing that @WilliamR.Alves. I will submit a feature request. It would be nice to set it up from the properties panel instead of chaining five methods in a script that won’t ever fit in one line. Also visually it’s easier to understand a diagram that has a send task.
Right now we use a send task, and write the script with Implementation Type = “expression” for the visual readability.
