Abstract
Event-driven activities suspend execution of a workflow until an event is received. The event is commonly raised externally by a local service, but it can also be raised internally from within a workflow. These types of activities are vital to state machine workflows, since they are typically used to trigger state transitions. But they are also a valuable tool for sequential workflows.
