I have this spec that signal from one execution to the other, no problem
but then, then "trap" doc says that default only the same execution signals are listened to
wtf, wwis (what was i smoking)
If you have the time to clarify that, a complete PR is welcome, so that I can work on the mysterious bug you've uncovered last week

@jmettraux
maybe a trap range: 'open' is necessary
Ryan Scott
@Subtletree
trace'a'
sequence
on 'S0'trace'S0'trace'b'trace'c'
In this situation, when the sequence has been left, is the should the trap be deleted?
Ryan Scott
@Subtletree
Yeah leave the signal/trap one to me.
John Mettraux
@jmettraux
yes, I think that the trap should be deleted
IIRC, the on specs explore those cases, there is a way to set an on / trap that stays
argh, cannot find
would be good to agree on some documentation at first, then we align the code on it
I'm ready to discuss all those points
Ryan Scott
@Subtletree
Sounds good. I'll write up some expectations today for how various trap types and ranges should work.
John Mettraux
@jmettraux
please tell me if I can help in any way
Ryan Scott
@Subtletree
will do!

Hi John, I am planning to automate my email workflow
Can I use the Flor Workflow engine to achieve it?
John Mettraux
@jmettraux
hello, yes you can use flor to do it, but your workflow is so simple that a timer might be sufficient instead
Pravin Kambley
@pravinbkambley_gitlab
we are just starting with it
please help me understand Timer? Are you talking Timer in Flor
we have more use cases

Pravin Kambley
@pravinbkambley_gitlab
Do you have UI or Modeler to design the process definition?
Pravin Kambley
@pravinbkambley_gitlab
Can we use flor and integrate it with bpmn-io/bpmn-js to design the process?
John Mettraux
@jmettraux
@pravinbkambley_gitlab no, there is yet no Modeler in flor
yes, you could use bpmn-io/bpmn-js to design a process, but you would have to manually translate it to flor's language
Sorry, by "timer", I was not referring to a flor timer but to a process/thread in your application looking at your entities and changing their states for the 1h delay, 1 day delay etc...
I think https://zenaton.com/ could be the solution that fits our needs. But, certainly, I am giving Flor a serious exploration to have a homegrown system and extendable to our existing product
Ryan Scott
@Subtletree
Flor is awesome if you think your product might get quite complicated and need some bespoke workflow handling. I have some processes which need very specific handling and have found flor always has a solution.
I've never tried a tool like zenaton though so can't compare
Pravin Kambley
@pravinbkambley_gitlab
Thanks, Ryan, I am exploring Flor to handle our custom workflow problem.
John Mettraux
@jmettraux
@Subtletree thanks for your support! :-)
Pravin Kambley
@pravinbkambley_gitlab
John & Ryan, appreciate all your inputs. Honestly, I admire the efforts put up by the Flor development team.
John Mettraux
@jmettraux
@pravinbkambley_gitlab :-) we hope you'll find the right tool for your effort
Pravin Kambley
@pravinbkambley_gitlab
thanks
Our development team is implementing an eCommerce workflow using Flor. We are looking forward to your support :)
John Mettraux
@jmettraux
oh I am surprised, I thought you would go with Zenaton
Pravin Kambley
@pravinbkambley_gitlab
We have short term and long term strategies. If we need a quick solution to fix it, then we can utilize Zenaton. For the long term, we need an inhouse solution & we can rely on Flor.
