Dear Siddhesh, Thank you for reaching out. The Action Engine is a rather old product that will get replaced by the task inbox at some point in time. The action flows run in the background, scanning the process for patterns. When a pattern occurs they either execute an action automatically or create a task in the task inbox. Many thanks and best regards, Tringa

Thanks Tringa..... another help if you can provide.... alike Action Engine, can attached Action Flow with Analyses to trigger the flow..... in a nut shell, do we have concept of Signal in Action Flow to act as a trigger point?
