# BPMN events
Events can occur with different continuations, at different locations and with different types.
## Table of contents
* [1.0 - Event continuations](#event-continuations)
* [2.0 - Event locations](#event-locations)
* [3.0 - Event types](#event-types)
* [4.0 - All available combinations of event continuations, locations and types](#event-combinations)
## 1.0 Event continuations, that are defined by BPMN are:
- interrupting
- non-interrupting
Any event continuation can be combined with any event location, except non-interrupting and end.
## 2.0 Event locations, that are defined by BPMN are:
- start
- intermediate
- end

## 3.0 Event types, that are defined by BPMN are:
-  noneThis event does not have a defined *trigger*.
-  throw message; add "evType": "throwMessage" to "properties" within the Request JSONA *message* is sent to a *participant* when the event has been triggered.
-  catch message; add "evType": "message" (for start events) or "evType": "catchMessage" (for intermediate events) to "properties" within the Request JSONA *message* arrives from a *participant* and triggers the event.
-  timer; add "evType": "timer" (for start events) or "evType": "catchTimer" (for intermediate events) to "properties" within the Request JSONA specific *date-time* or a specific *cycle count* triggers the event.
-  throw error; add "evType": "throwError" to "properties" within the Request JSONAn *error* is generatedand when the event has been triggered.
-  catch error; add "evType": "catchError" to "properties" within the Request JSONThe *execution of a business activity creates an error* and triggers the event.
-  throw escalation; add "evType": "escalation" (for end events) or "evType": "throwEscalation" (for intermediate events) to "properties" within the Request JSONAn *escalation* is generatedand when the event has been triggered.
-  catch escalation; add "evType": "escalation" (for start events) or "evType": "catchEscalation" (for intermediate events) to "properties" within the Request JSONA specified *restriction on the execution of a business activity* cannot be complied with and triggers the event.
-  throw cancel; add "evType": "throwCancel" to "properties" within the Request JSONAn *transaction* has to be canceled when the event has been triggered.
-  catch cancel; add "evType": "catchCancel" to "properties" within the Request JSONA *transaction* cannot be completed and triggers the event.
-  throw compensation; add "evType": "throwCompensation" to "properties" within the Request JSONA *compensation* is necessary when the event has been triggered.
-  catch compensation; add "evType": "catchCompensation" to "properties" within the Request JSONA *compensation* occurs and triggers the event.
-  conditional; add "evType": "conditional" to "properties" within the Request JSONA *condition* becomes *true* and triggers the event.
-  throw link; add "evType": "throwLink" to "properties" owithin the Request JSONThe *connection* to another section of the same *business process* (e.g. loop start or sequence shortcut start) needs to be initiated when the event has been triggered.
-  catch link; add "evType": "catchLink" to "properties" within the Request JSONA *connection* to another section of the same *business process* is to be closed (e.g. loop end or sequence shortcut end) and triggers the event.
-  throw signal; add "evType": "signal" (for end events) or "evType": "throwSignal" (for intermediate events) to "properties" within the Request JSONA *signal* to another *business process* needs to be broadcast when the event has been triggered.
-  catch signal; add "evType": "signal" (for start events) or "evType": "catchSignal" (for intermediate events) to "properties" within the Request JSONA *signal* arrives that has been broadcast from another *business process* and triggers the event.
-  terminate; add "evType": "terminate" to "properties" within the Request JSONAll activities in the *business process* should be ended immediately when the event has been triggered.
-  throw multiple; add "evType": "multiple" (for end events) or "evType": "throwMultiple" (for intermediate events) to "properties" within the Request JSON*All of multiple* consequences (trigers) occure when the event has been triggered.
-  catch multiple; add "evType": "multiple" (for start events) or "evType": "catchMultiple" (for intermediate events) to "properties" within the Request JSONAt least *one of several* consequences (trigers) has been encountered and triggers the event.
-  parallel multiple; add "evType": "parMultiple" (for start and end events) to "properties" within the Request JSON*All of several* triggers have been encountered and trigger the event.
