Timer Events

[rschneidman]

I am using the RESTful api. When my workflow enters a timer event, I need a way to tell which timer event is being executed to display some information to the user. What is the best way to get the current timer event that is being executed?

Thanks

Hi,

I think you are asking for event when process instance execution arrives to the timer catching event.
I would say that the easiest way is to use listeners on the flow to the timer catching event.

another possibility is to use 5.15 event infrastructure

ENTITY_CREATED or ENTITY_INITIALIZED
