Start events

Maestro user guide
Last updated Aug 12, 2025
A start event defines how a process begins. A diagram must include exactly one start
event.
Event type | Icon | Meaning |
---|---|---|
None | Used for manual starts or when the trigger is defined outside the BPMN model. | |
Message | Indicates the process is triggered by an incoming message. Often used in called processes. | |
Timer | Indicates the process starts at a specific time or after a delay. Useful for scheduled operations. |
Note: Only one start event is allowed per process in
Maestro. Use sub-processes to model additional entry points.
