1. User Task

  • A manual task where users can approve or reject requests.

  • Commonly used for approvals related to leave, attendance regularization, expenses, and resignations.

2. Service Task

  • An automated task where the application calls an API to complete a process.

  • Useful for system-generated actions like updating records, sending notifications, or triggering payroll calculations.

3. GOTO (Step Transition)

  • Defines the next step in the workflow after a task is completed.

  • Ensures seamless movement between different stages of the process.

4. Parallel Gateway

  • Creates two or more parallel tasks that can be executed simultaneously.

  • Example: Sending an approval request to both HR and the reporting manager at the same time.

5. Exclusive Gateway

  • Creates tasks based on defined conditions and routes the workflow accordingly.
