Hi,

Is there any element that sending out an message with configurable message name, corelationkey and variables that everything is configured in the web modeler, with out java code as a job handler?

We can create a custom task like this, but I am asking an out of the box feature.

Thanks

Came here to ask the same thing.

I expected to be able to setup a message intermediate throw event with message name and a correlation key. If thatā€™s not what it is for, what is it then ?:slight_smile:

This would make for a much better user expereince for sure.
I know we have a feature request for this already, so iā€™ll look into what kinda of progress can be expected on it.

The Message Intermediate Throw Event has the same behavior as a Service Task based on job worker. The differences between the message throw events and the tasks are the visual representation and the semantics for the model.

Hi,

If your receiver is a process in the same engine, signal can be used as a low code messageā€¦to correlate to a single receiver, use a dynamically generated signal name using a feel expression and a unique process instance variableā€¦

Thats a nice hack, will give it a try :slight_smile:

thanks Web, but I think the signal is more about ā€œchoreographyā€, rather than ā€œorchestrationā€

Hi,

Perhapsā€¦ The ā€˜hackā€™ here is signal can be used as a low code messageā€¦

The trick is, signal is a broadcastā€¦hence by using a dynamic, unique signal name, message semantics csn be achievedā€¦
