Hello,

The best way is probably to create your own workflow.
You'll end up with an independent workflow that match your business process perfectly and have the luck to testify how awesome activiti is.
Everything goes quite smoothly with the provided eclipse plugin and Jeff's tutorial: http://ecmarchitect.com/archives/2012/02/20/1552

The development of workflow from scratch I think it's a good method, however, I'm not so expert in Activiti (for example as it is possible to instantiate N task of revision for approvers?)
I knew that the development of workflow would be a good method, but I kept it as a last approach if possible

Noone's born expert
But as I said, with the eclipse plugin and Jeff's tutorial you can learn quite fast.

If you wanna stick with some js it might be possible, all you need is a handler to trigger the second workflow.
I don't think behaviors got that kind of handlers as is but if you look at the work they do behind they might be adding aspects for internal use… In which case you could use these.
Otherwise I don't know and don't have the time to dig in it for now sry.
