Message Start Event
![]()
The message start event is a type of start event that is triggered by the receipt of a message. It indicates that the process will begin when a user message entered in the footer is received. The message start event is typically followed by an AI Agent module that processes the user's message and generates a response.
info
Having a message start event in your process ensures that the chat footer (input area) is activated and visible to users, allowing them to type and send messages.
info
The message start event should be preceded by an end event so the rest of the process flow does not 'leak' into the message handling following the message start event.
