Trigger a message to release 1 st token in the process flow event

Hi Community,

I have a use case where I need to release the first token from the process flow when a part finishes processing in the processor. I tried creating a message trigger and set the control to 'event', but I wasn't able to release the token from the event for the next action.

Thanks in advance for your help.

You don't need a message for this (though technically that would be possible to do but much more cumbersome). Just assign the item to a label on the token, so the token can wait for that item to finish processing.

Hi Felix,
Thank you for your time and interest,

I am trying a use case where I want to release 1 token from the event on finish of Processor 2 or 3 process. Below I am attaching the example model. Thanks in advance for your support.

I am trying the above case with trigger through a message control.

You can't send a message to the token (well, you can, but you can't listen for that message).

You could sync the token and message via the item on Processor1, but for that you'd need to know whether the item has finished processing.

So overall I think releasing the token through code in the Process Finish trigger might be a decent choice.
