BPM - How does it work?

[dodom2]

Can someone please help explain to me how the BPM feature works in the advanced pack? I've read the documentation online but just don't understand its purpose and what use cases we would need it in.

Drip email campaign is one of many use cases https://docs.espocrm.com/administrat...paign/#example

Hello yuri,
can you post a sample on documentation about "signal" event ?

Thanks

[yuri]

You can import CSV with examples: https://docs.espocrm.com/administrat...dable-examples

Signal is an named event. Something broadcasts a signal with a specific name, your process can catch this signal.

What can broadcast a signal:

* another process or the same process (you choose any signal name you want)
* your custom code (e.g. hooks, you choose any signal name you want)
* existing hooks that cover crud operations and bit more (here the list https://docs.espocrm.com/administration/bpm-signals/)

It's really very simple.

So if I understand correctly its more of a funnel for workflows?
