Batch External service for individual process instances

[rangoo]

We have a use case where we have to kick off a workflow for each order and after that for next  20 mins (every 5 mins) we need to check for the order status using an external web service . Based on the order status either a step/sub-process has to be invoked.  External service accepts a list of orders to give back their statuses.  We would like to use this service to batch( like 10 orders) for status check.

Since we have a process instance for each order created.  What do you think is the best way to design this case?

You could model that in a process using timer boundary events. I would advise using something like Camel to make the integration with external systems easier.
