[Wait for signal] process element
Intermediate catching signal (Fig. 57) can be activated by a custom signal. It can also react to the modifying or deleting of records in the specified object. For example, the opportunity stage was changed. After catching a signal that an opportunity was modified, the signal element activates its outgoing flows.
