Receive Tasks

In BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation), a "receive task" is a type of task used to model a specific type of activity in a business process that represents the receipt or reception of a message, notification, or request from an external participant or system. Receive tasks are typically used to depict a point in the process where the process is waiting for an external event, message, or response.

Key characteristics of a receive task:

Message Reception: Receive tasks represent activities where the process is waiting to receive a message, notification, or request from an external participant or system.

Asynchronous: Receive tasks are typically asynchronous, meaning that the process waits for an external event or message to arrive and continue its flow after receiving it.

Message Content: They may involve specifying the expected content or format of the incoming message and how the process should handle it.

Response Handling: Receive tasks are often followed by subsequent activities that process the received message or response.

Integration: Receive tasks are used to model the integration of the business process with external participants, systems, or services through message-based communication.

Attributes:

The following are the attributes associated with the "Receive" tasks:

Attribute	Description
ID:	The "Id" attribute represents the unique identifier of the receive task. It corresponds to the task definition key in the BPMN model.
Name:	The "Name" attribute defines the name or label of the receive task.

Details:

The "Details" section for the Receive Task includes the following Message attributes:

Attribute	Description
Message: [Message_0vat9jk (id=Message_1ubmceq)]	The "Message" attribute indicates the specific message that is associated with this Receive Task. In this case, it references a message with the identifier "Message_0vat9jk" and the unique ID "Message_1ubmceq." The message defines the content and structure of the data that will be received by the Receive Task.
Message Name: [Message_0vat9jk]	The "Message Name" attribute specifies the name or identifier of the message that is expected by the Receive Task. In this case, it is identified as "Message_0vat9jk." The message name is used to correlate the received message with the corresponding message definition in the BPMN process.

Asynchronous Continuations:

Asynchronous continuations are used to specify whether a task is executed asynchronously, they include:

Attribute	Description
Asynchronous Before:	The "Asynchronous Before" attribute indicates if the task can be started asynchronously before other tasks or events in the process.
Asynchronous After:	Similarly, the "Asynchronous After" attribute denotes whether the receive task can be completed asynchronously after other tasks or events in the process.
