How to fire workflow event from external process

[sagarieduri]

I have a different use case of workflow and please let me know if there is any possibility to achieve this through activiti engine.
for example my workflow process is as follows:

    start -> doneBySomeOtherExternalProcess -> forwardToNextUser -> stop

doneBySomeOtherExternalProcess : may be this a process to count the no of people who attended the meeting by some person.

how can i fire this event(doneBySomeOtherExternalProcess) of workflow process from outside(may be through listener)

can you please tell me the correct process to meet this requirement.

Hi Sagari,

start process (REST API, java API…) and process execution will automatically fire doneBySomeOtherExternalProcess.

Hi Martin,
            Thanks for your quick response.Yes, in actual process it will fire automatically but i want to take the control of the events after start instead of doing automatically.while going through user guide i founded 'IntermediateMessage' is it useful in this use case.

Can you please suggest me the best way.
