User Task

A step in the process that waits for a human to complete a form or make a decision.

A user task (a rounded rectangle with a person icon) represents work assigned to a human — reviewing a request, approving an expense, entering data into a form. The process pauses at a user task until someone completes it.

User tasks are commonly linked to a form (Camunda Forms or an embedded form definition) that defines what fields the assignee fills in.

Example

Bpmn.createProcess("approval")
  .startEvent("start")
  .userTask("review", { name: "Review Request", formId: "ReviewForm" })
  .exclusiveGateway("gw", { name: "Approved?" })
  .branch("yes", (b) => b.condition("= approved").endEvent("end-ok"))
  .branch("no", (b) => b.defaultFlow().endEvent("end-rejected"))
  .withAutoLayout()
  .build();
