Modeler

The Easy BPM Modeler is the workspace for designing BPMN 2.0 process definitions and reusable forms. It has a component palette, a canvas, a properties panel, validation feedback, BPMN import/export actions, and deployment to the configured Easy BPM backend.

Easy BPM Modeler light mode

Access and theme

Open the modeler at the configured frontend URL, for example:

http://localhost:3000

Use an account with modeler permissions. In local QA environments the default account is usually:

username: admin
password: admin

The screenshots in this page use light mode. Use the sun/moon button in the top bar to switch themes.

Recommended workflow

Create forms first when human tasks need form rendering.
Add process components to the canvas.
Give each runtime node a stable Element ID.
Connect the nodes with sequence flows.
Configure variables, forms, APIs, messages, timers, gateways, and boundary events.
Resolve validation errors in the right panel.
Export the BPMN XML or deploy the process to the backend.
Start a test instance from the Task Portal, BPM Admin, or the process API.

Main areas

Area	Purpose
Component palette	Drag participants, events, tasks, gateways, messages, and boundary events onto the canvas.
Canvas	Arrange nodes and create sequence flows between connection points.
Properties panel	Configure the selected process, node, or connection.
Validation summary	Shows errors and warnings for missing flows, duplicate IDs, invalid forms, invalid timers, and boundary placement.
Import and Export	Load or save BPMN 2.0 XML for process definitions. Export validates the model before creating the BPMN file.
Deploy	Sends BPMN 2.0 XML to the backend as a new process definition version.

Modeler component palette

Modeler reference and build guides

Use this page as a reference for the Modeler interface, component palette, and property fields. Use the Build Processes guides for end-to-end workflows, runtime behavior, API calls, and operational examples. Some configuration appears in both places so that each component remains understandable in the Modeler while the guides can explain how it behaves after deployment.

Common properties

Most executable components share these properties.

Property	Use
`Element ID`	Stable runtime ID used in exported JSON, task records, process history, and flow references. Use a readable ID such as `manager_review`.
`Label`	Human-friendly text shown on the canvas.
`Description`	Optional documentation for the step.
Input variables	Values copied into the task or component context.
Output variables	Values copied from a task/component result into process variables.

The modeler validates duplicate node IDs and empty IDs. IDs should start with a letter and use letters, numbers, hyphens, or underscores where the UI validates a key-like value.

Process format

For current releases, process definitions are imported, exported, and deployed as BPMN 2.0 XML. The examples in this page use short configuration snippets for readability, but the actual process artifact exchanged with the backend is BPMN XML.

Variables and mappings

Process variables live in the process state panel. They can be reused by tasks, service steps, APIs, messages, call activities, and code tasks.

Mapping mode	Meaning
`From Global` / `variable`	Reads a process variable.
`Static Value` / `static`	Uses a literal value configured in the modeler.
Output target	Writes the result into a process variable.

Example task input:

{
  "targetName": "amount",
  "type": "number",
  "source": "variable",
  "value": "requestAmount"
}

Example task output:

{
  "target": "variable",
  "sourceName": "approved",
  "type": "boolean",
  "value": "approved"
}

Connections and conditions

Click a sequence flow to edit its condition. Conditions are most often used after an exclusive gateway.

Example approved branch:

${approved} == true

Example rejected branch:

${approved} == false

Parallel gateway branches should normally be unconditional.

Diagram structure

Participant

Participant component

Use a participant/pool as a visual BPMN lane or container. It does not execute process logic and cannot receive sequence flows.

Property	Example	Notes
`Element ID`	`pool_sales`	Visual identifier only.
`Label`	`Sales`	Displayed vertically on the pool.
`Description`	`Sales process participant`	Optional.
`Width`	`560`	Minimum is enforced by the UI.
`Height`	`190`	Minimum is enforced by the UI.

Flow events

Use these components to define where a process starts, finishes, or pauses. See Create a Process for an end-to-end process example.

Start Event

Start Event component

Use a start event to begin a process instance. A process must have at least one start event.

Property	Example	Notes
`Element ID`	`start`	Stable start node ID.
`Label`	`Start`	Display label.
`Description`	`Begin request intake`	Optional.

Validation rules:

Rule	Meaning
No incoming flow	A start node cannot be reached from another node.
At least one outgoing flow	It must route to the first real step.

End Event

End Event component

Use an end event to complete the process instance.

Property	Example	Notes
`Element ID`	`end`	Stable end node ID.
`Label`	`End`	Display label.
`Description`	`Process completed`	Optional.

Validation rules:

Rule	Meaning
At least one incoming flow	The process must be able to reach the end.
No outgoing flow	End nodes finish the path.

Timer Event

Timer Event component

Use a timer event when the process should wait before continuing to the next node.

Property	Example	Notes
`Element ID`	`wait_30_seconds`	Stable timer ID.
`Label`	`Wait 30 seconds`	Display label.
`Timeout (seconds)`	`30`	Required and must be greater than `0`.

Example export:

{
  "id": "wait_30_seconds",
  "type": "TimerEvent",
  "properties": {
    "timeoutSeconds": 30
  },
  "next": ["after_wait"]
}

Task components

Tasks represent work performed by people, external APIs, internal mappings, custom code, or AI. The Build Processes guides provide deeper runtime examples for User Tasks, API Tasks, and Code Tasks.

Human Task

Human Task component

Use a human task when a user or group must complete work in the Task Portal.

Property	Example	Notes
`Element ID`	`manager_review`	Used as the task `nodeId`.
`Label`	`Manager Review`	Task title shown to users.
`Form Key`	`qa_manager_review`	Attach the deployed form key, not the numeric database ID.
`Assignee(s)`	`manager1, manager2`	Comma-separated users.
`Candidate Groups`	`MANAGERS, FINANCE`	Comma-separated group codes.
`Task Inputs`	`amount <- requestAmount`	Values copied from process variables or static values into task variables.
`Task Outputs`	`approved -> approved`	Values written back to process variables when the task is completed.

Example configuration:

{
  "id": "manager_review",
  "type": "HumanTask",
  "config": {
    "formId": "qa_manager_review",
    "assignee": "manager1",
    "candidateGroups": "MANAGERS",
    "inputs": [
      {
        "targetName": "amount",
        "type": "number",
        "source": "variable",
        "value": "requestAmount"
      }
    ],
    "outputs": [
      {
        "target": "variable",
        "sourceName": "approved",
        "type": "boolean",
        "value": "approved"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Use required fields in the form schema when the task must validate data before completion.

API Task

API Task component

Use an API task to call an external HTTP endpoint through the worker. API task failure can be caught by an Error Boundary. If no boundary handles the failure, the instance is marked FAILED and BPM Admin shows the recorded error. Worker requests that do not complete within 2 minutes follow the same failure path.

Property	Example	Notes
`URL`	`https://api.example.com/check`	Endpoint called by the worker.
`Method`	`GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `DELETE`	HTTP method.
`Auth Type`	`none`, `bearer`, `basic`, `apikey`	Auth strategy.
`Auth Ref`	`EXT_API_AUTH`	Environment variable reference.
`API Key In`	`header` or `query`	Only for API key auth.
`API Key Name`	`X-API-Key`	Header or query parameter name.
`Request Body (JSON)`	`{ "id": "${requestId}" }`	JSON body, mainly for `POST` and `PUT`.
`API Output Mapping`	`data.status -> apiStatus`	JSON path from response to process variable.

Bearer auth example:

{
  "id": "risk_check",
  "type": "APITask",
  "properties": {
    "url": "https://api.example.com/risk",
    "method": "POST",
    "auth": {
      "type": "bearer",
      "ref": "RISK_API_TOKEN"
    },
    "body": {
      "amount": "${amount}"
    },
    "outputs": [
      {
        "target": "variable",
        "sourceName": "data.status",
        "type": "string",
        "value": "riskStatus"
      }
    ]
  }
}

API key auth example:

{
  "auth": {
    "type": "apikey",
    "ref": "PARTNER_API_KEY",
    "in": "header",
    "key": "X-API-Key"
  }
}

Service Task

Service Task component

Use a service task for variable attribution and internal mappings. It is useful when the process needs to set or transform variables without waiting for a human task.

Property	Example	Notes
`Input Mappings`	`requestAmount <- amount`	Reads process variables or static values.
`Output Mappings`	`priority -> priority`	Writes mapped values to process variables.

Example:

{
  "id": "set_priority",
  "type": "ServiceTask",
  "config": {
    "inputs": [
      {
        "targetName": "amount",
        "type": "number",
        "source": "variable",
        "value": "requestAmount"
      }
    ],
    "outputs": [
      {
        "target": "variable",
        "sourceName": "priority",
        "type": "string",
        "value": "priority"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Code Task

Code Task component

Use a code task to execute Java code from uploaded JAR files. The modeler stores variable mappings; JAR upload, class discovery, and method binding are managed in the Code Task area of BPM Admin.

Property	Example	Notes
`Input Variable Mapping`	`amount -> method parameter`	Process values passed into the Java method.
`Output Variable Mapping`	`return.total -> total`	Java result fields written to process variables.

Example modeler export:

{
  "id": "calculate_score",
  "type": "CodeTask",
  "properties": {
    "inputs": [
      {
        "targetName": "amount",
        "type": "number",
        "source": "variable",
        "value": "requestAmount"
      }
    ],
    "outputs": [
      {
        "source": "variable",
        "sourceValue": "score",
        "type": "number",
        "targetVariable": "riskScore"
      }
    ]
  }
}

AI Task (BETA)

AI Task component

Use an AI task to send prompts to an AI provider and store the response in a process variable.

Property	Example	Notes
`Provider`	`openai`	Provider ID.
`Model`	`gpt-4.1-mini`	Provider model name.
`Credential`	Stored credential or environment ref	Configured in backend/admin security.
`System Prompt`	`You classify requests.`	Optional system instruction.
`User Prompt`	`Classify {{requestText}}`	Prompt can reference process variables.
`Tuning`	temperature, topP, maxTokens	Provider-specific tuning values.
`Output Variable`	`aiDecision`	Process variable receiving the response.

Example:

{
  "id": "classify_request",
  "type": "AiTask",
  "properties": {
    "providerId": "openai",
    "modelName": "gpt-4.1-mini",
    "promptTemplate": "Classify this request: {{requestText}}",
    "outputVariable": "aiClassification",
    "tuningParams": {
      "temperature": 0.2,
      "maxTokens": 500
    }
  }
}

Agent Process (Feature Flag)

Agent Process editor

Agent Process is the feature-flagged resource for agentic orchestration. Use it when a BPM process needs to call an AI-driven agent that can evaluate context, produce a structured decision, and write outputs back to process variables.

Enable it in the modeler before running or building the frontend:

$env:EASY_BPM_MODELER_AGENTIC_ORCHESTRATION="true"
npm run dev

When enabled, the modeler shows the Agent Process resource and an Agent Process BPM node. The Agent Process editor can import/export Agent Process JSON drafts and deploy reusable agent definitions to POST /agent-processes. A BPM process then calls one of those deployed agents with an AgentProcessCall node.

Agent Process component

Agent Process provider configuration:

Property	Example	Notes
`Provider`	`gemini` or `azure-openai`	Provider ID used by the backend provider factory.
`Model`	`gemini-3.5-flash` or `gpt-4o-mini`	Model name or Azure deployment name sent to the provider.
`Endpoint`	`https://<resource>.openai.azure.com/openai/v1/responses`	Optional for most providers. Required for `azure-openai`.
`Credential Ref`	`$GEMINI_API_KEY` or `$AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY`	Environment variable references must start with `$`. Stored credential IDs do not use `$`.
`Goal`	`Resolve customer complaint`	Main objective for the agent.
`Instructions`	`Investigate, classify, decide next action`	Operational instructions included in the prompt context.
`Constraints`	`Refunds over 500 require approval`	Guardrails and business policy reminders.

For local AI testing, providerId: "ollama" works without a credential reference and defaults to http://localhost:11434/api/generate with model llama3.2 when the endpoint is not overridden.

For Azure OpenAI, set providerId to azure-openai, use the Azure deployment name in modelName, and provide an Azure endpoint plus a credential reference such as $AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY.

Agent Process definition example:

{
  "resourceType": "AgentProcess",
  "processKey": "customer-support-resolution",
  "processName": "Customer Support Resolution",
  "goal": "Resolve customer complaint and ensure customer satisfaction.",
  "provider": {
    "providerId": "gemini",
    "modelName": "gemini-3.5-flash",
    "credentialRef": "$GEMINI_API_KEY"
  },
  "steps": []
}

Configure the token in the backend runtime environment, not in the frontend:

$env:GEMINI_API_KEY="AIza..."

The deploy API requires a non-empty goal. If you include provider, it must include non-empty providerId and modelName. When processKey is omitted, the backend falls back to key, then to a slugified processName.

Agent Process templates

The Agent Process editor includes starter templates for Customer Support Resolution, Invoice Exception Review, and Employee Onboarding Coordinator. Select a template, then review and adapt the process key, goal, instructions, constraints, provider, model, endpoint, and credential reference before deployment.

Templates are editable starting points only. They do not create or deploy an agent automatically, and provider credentials must remain configured in the backend runtime environment.

BPM invocation properties:

Property	Example	Notes
`Agent Process Key`	`customer-support-resolution`	Must match the deployed Agent Process `processKey`.
`Goal Override`	`Resolve this complaint`	Optional runtime goal for this call.
`Wait for Completion`	enabled	The process waits for the agent decision before continuing.
`Timeout Seconds`	`120`	Optional timeout metadata for the call.
Input mappings	`complaintText <- complaintText`	Sends BPM variables into the agent context.
Output mappings	`decision -> agentDecision`	Writes agent output fields back to BPM variables.

Agent Process call example:

{
  "id": "resolve_with_agent",
  "type": "AgentProcessCall",
  "config": {
    "agentProcessKey": "customer-support-resolution",
    "goal": "Resolve the customer complaint from the current process variables.",
    "waitForCompletion": true,
    "timeoutSeconds": 120,
    "inputs": [
      {
        "targetName": "complaintText",
        "type": "string",
        "source": "variable",
        "value": "complaintText"
      }
    ],
    "outputs": [
      {
        "source": "variable",
        "sourceValue": "decision",
        "type": "string",
        "targetVariable": "agentDecision"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Deploy order:

Enable EASY_BPM_MODELER_AGENTIC_ORCHESTRATION=true and open the modeler.
Create and deploy the Agent Process from the Agent Process resource.
Add an Agent Process node to the BPM process and set Agent Process Key to the deployed agent key.
Deploy the BPM process, start an instance, and inspect the process variables for the agent decision/output.

Documentation components

Documentation Note

Documentation Note component

Use a Documentation Note to add context, assumptions, business rules, or implementation notes directly on the process canvas. Add it from the Documentation section of the component palette, then set its title and note text in the properties panel.

Documentation Notes can be visually associated with other diagram elements. They are for readers of the model only: Easy BPM does not export them as executable BPMN nodes, and they do not affect process execution.

Subprocess components

Use call activities to compose reusable processes. See Call Activities for runtime relationships, variable mapping, and error handling.

Call Activity

Call Activity component

Use a call activity to start a child process and wait for it to complete.

Property	Example	Notes
`Target Process Key`	`finance-review`	The process key of the subprocess.
`Propagate All Variables`	enabled	Copies all parent variables to the child. Explicit mappings are ignored when enabled.
`Input Variable Mapping`	`parentOrderId -> orderId`	Sends parent variables into the child.
`Output Variable Mapping`	`childStatus -> financeStatus`	Copies child results back to the parent.

Example:

{
  "id": "finance_subprocess",
  "type": "CallActivity",
  "config": {
    "processKey": "finance-review",
    "propagateAllVariables": false,
    "inputs": [
      {
        "targetName": "orderId",
        "type": "string",
        "source": "variable",
        "value": "orderId"
      }
    ],
    "outputs": [
      {
        "source": "variable",
        "sourceValue": "approved",
        "type": "boolean",
        "targetVariable": "financeApproved"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Gateway components

Exclusive Gateway

Exclusive Gateway component

Use an exclusive gateway to route the process down one path based on conditions.

Property	Example	Notes
`Element ID`	`approval_decision`	Gateway ID.
Flow condition	`${approved} == true`	Configured on outgoing sequence flows, not on the gateway node itself.

Validation rules:

Rule	Meaning
At least one incoming flow	The gateway must be reachable.
At least one outgoing flow	The gateway must route somewhere.
Warning for multiple outgoing flows without conditions	Add conditions when there are multiple routes.

Typical routing:

Flow to finance_review: ${approved} == true
Flow to rejection_notice: ${approved} == false

Parallel Gateway

Parallel Gateway component

Use a parallel gateway to fork into multiple branches or join multiple branches.

Pattern	Shape
Fork	1 incoming flow, 2 or more outgoing flows.
Join	2 or more incoming flows, 1 outgoing flow.

Do not use branch conditions on parallel gateway outgoing flows unless you have a very specific runtime reason. The modeler warns when parallel outgoing flows have conditions.

Message event components

Message events connect process execution to internal or external publishers. See Message Events for correlation, idempotency, and API examples.

Message Start

Message Start component

Use a message start when a message should start or activate a message-based process entry.

Property	Example	Notes
`Message Name`	`OrderReceived`	Message name expected by the process.
`Timeout (seconds)`	`60`	Optional. Empty means no timeout.
`Message Payload to Process`	`orderId -> orderId`	Writes received payload into process variables.

Example:

{
  "id": "message_start",
  "type": "MessageStartEvent",
  "message": {
    "name": "OrderReceived",
    "correlationKeys": [],
    "timeoutSeconds": 60,
    "payload": [
      {
        "source": "variable",
        "sourceValue": "orderId",
        "type": "string",
        "targetVariable": "orderId"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Message Intermediate Catch

Message Catch component

Use a catch event when a running process must wait for a message.

Property	Example	Notes
`Message Name`	`PaymentReceived`	Message to wait for.
`Timeout (seconds)`	`300`	Optional timeout.
`Correlation Keys (CSV)`	`orderId, customerId`	Keys used to match the message to the instance.
`Message Payload to Process`	`paymentStatus -> paymentStatus`	Writes payload fields to variables.

Example:

{
  "id": "wait_payment",
  "type": "MessageIntermediateCatchEvent",
  "message": {
    "name": "PaymentReceived",
    "correlationKeys": ["orderId"],
    "timeoutSeconds": 300,
    "payload": [
      {
        "source": "variable",
        "sourceValue": "status",
        "type": "string",
        "targetVariable": "paymentStatus"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Message Intermediate Throw

Message Throw component

Use a throw event when the process should publish/send a message.

Property	Example	Notes
`Message Name`	`ApprovalCompleted`	Message emitted by the process.
`Correlation Keys (CSV)`	`orderId`	Keys sent with the message.
`Process to Message Payload`	`approved -> approved`	Process variables copied into the message payload.

Example:

{
  "id": "send_approval_result",
  "type": "MessageIntermediateThrowEvent",
  "message": {
    "name": "ApprovalCompleted",
    "correlationKeys": ["orderId"],
    "payload": [
      {
        "targetName": "approved",
        "type": "boolean",
        "source": "variable",
        "value": "approved"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Boundary event components

Boundary events attach to active work and provide alternate paths for errors, messages, or timeouts.

Error Boundary

Error Boundary component

Attach an error boundary to a task when failures should follow a recovery path instead of failing the whole instance.

Property	Example	Notes
`Error Code`	`ERR_TIMEOUT`	Optional classification for the error path.
`Exception Variable`	`apiErrorMessage`	Optional process variable that receives the exception message.
`Attached to parent task`	shown in green	The boundary must be attached to a valid task.

Validation rules:

Rule	Meaning
Must be attached to a task	Drag it onto a task node.
No incoming flow	It is triggered by the attached task failure.
At least one outgoing flow	It must route to a recovery node.

Example recovery path:

{
  "id": "api_error_boundary",
  "type": "ErrorBoundaryEvent",
  "attachedTo": "risk_check",
  "config": {
    "errorCode": "ERR_API",
    "exceptionVariable": "riskCheckError"
  },
  "next": ["manual_recovery"]
}

When an API task fails and this boundary is attached, the instance follows the boundary path and is not marked FAILED. Without a boundary, the instance is marked FAILED, including worker timeouts after 2 minutes, and BPM Admin displays the error.

Message Boundary

Message Boundary component

Attach a message boundary when an active task can be interrupted or recovered by an incoming message.

Property	Example	Notes
`Message Name`	`CancelRequested`	Incoming message to catch.
`Correlation Keys (CSV)`	`orderId`	Used to match the correct process instance.
`Message Payload to Process`	`reason -> cancelReason`	Writes payload into process variables.
`Attached to parent task`	shown in green	Must be attached to a valid task.

Example:

{
  "id": "cancel_boundary",
  "type": "MessageBoundaryEvent",
  "attachedTo": "manager_review",
  "message": {
    "name": "CancelRequested",
    "correlationKeys": ["orderId"],
    "payload": [
      {
        "source": "variable",
        "sourceValue": "reason",
        "type": "string",
        "targetVariable": "cancelReason"
      }
    ]
  },
  "next": ["cancelled_end"]
}

Timer Boundary

Timer Boundary component

Attach a timer boundary to a task when the task has a timeout path.

Property	Example	Notes
`Timeout (seconds)`	`3600`	Required and must be greater than `0`.
`Interrupting`	`Yes`	Interrupts the parent task when timeout fires.
`Attached to parent task`	shown in green	Must be attached to a valid task.

Example:

{
  "id": "manager_sla_timeout",
  "type": "TimerEvent",
  "attachedTo": "manager_review",
  "properties": {
    "timeoutSeconds": 3600,
    "interrupting": true
  },
  "next": ["escalate_request"]
}

Form modeler

For the complete field-by-field interface reference, see Form Modeler. For deployment and API retrieval, see the Forms build guide.

The form modeler creates JSON-schema based forms that can be attached to human tasks by form key.

  "schema": {
    "title": "Manager Review",
    "type": "object",
    "required": ["approved"],
    "properties": {
      "approved": {
        "title": "Approved",
        "type": "boolean",
        "readOnly": false
      },
      "comment": {
        "title": "Comment",
        "type": "string",
        "readOnly": false
      }
    }
  }
}

Attach the form to a human task with the same form key:

Human Task -> Form Key: qa_manager_review

Validation checklist

Before exporting or deploying, resolve these common issues:

Issue	Fix
Process has no start event	Add `Start Event` or `Message Start`.
Process has no end event	Add `End Event`.
Start has no outgoing flow	Connect it to the first step.
End has outgoing flow	Remove outgoing flows from end nodes.
Task has no incoming/outgoing flow	Connect it into the path.
Timer has no timeout	Set `Timeout (seconds)` to a positive number.
Exclusive gateway has multiple routes with no conditions	Add flow conditions such as `${approved} == true`.
Parallel gateway shape is invalid	Use fork shape or join shape.
Boundary is not attached	Drag the boundary event onto a task.
Human task form key is invalid	Use a key that starts with a letter and contains letters, numbers, hyphens, or underscores.

Runtime notes

Component	Runtime behavior
Human Task	Creates a pending task in the Task Portal. Completion maps task outputs back to process variables.
API Task	Publishes a worker request. Completion maps response JSON paths to process variables. Failure follows an error boundary when present, otherwise the instance becomes `FAILED`.
Service Task	Applies configured variable mappings and continues automatically.
Code Task	Uses backend/admin code task configuration and modeler variable mappings.
Agent Process	Calls a deployed Agent Process, records the execution, and maps the agent decision/output back to process variables.
Call Activity	Starts a child process and maps variables between parent and child.
Message Catch/Boundary	Waits for a correlated message. Timeout can route to boundary behavior or fail when unhandled.
Timer Event/Boundary	Uses scheduled timeout processing.
Gateway	Chooses outgoing paths based on conditions or parallel fork/join semantics.

Environment

Set the backend URL for the modeler with:

EASY_BPM_MODELER_API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080

Enable the Agent Process resource and Agent Process BPM node with:

EASY_BPM_MODELER_AGENTIC_ORCHESTRATION=true

For deployed environments, point EASY_BPM_MODELER_API_BASE_URL at the customer backend URL.
