Event-Driven Tasks

March 22, 2026

Event-driven tasks fit work that should happen because something changed. A record is submitted, an inspection status changes, a document is approved, or a validation result arrives, and the next step should happen without waiting for manual follow-up.

What This Work Covers

• trigger design tied to workflow state changes
• notifications and downstream handoffs
• document and approval routing
• validation-driven actions
• event logs and retry behavior

Why This Pattern Works

It reduces lag between steps and makes operational state more dependable. When designed well, the workflow advances because the system can see what happened and respond consistently.
