- Actions: Specify what human and system actions will happen in
the process and their orders - Details: Choose who will be involved in the process
- Versions: View a list of all versions of processes published till date
First you are going to select a trigger for your process. For this project, you are going
to select e-mail as a trigger. As shown in Figure 10-9 under the Triggers tab, click on When
an Email Arrives as the trigger option. Once you select an e-mail trigger, Effektif provides
an auto-generated e-mail address. Any person or a system can send an e-mail to this
auto-generated address and a new instance of process will be started in Effektif.
