You can use the Custom Code activity to create custom behavior in the process flow module. You can select pre-defined picklist options or write your own code in FlexScript. When a token enters the Custom Code activity, it will evaluate the user-defined code and then immediately be released to the next activity without any model time passing.
Connectors
The Custom Code activity only allows one connector out. See Adding and Connecting Activities formore information.
