Raise Event

Use the Edit Raise Event Activity dialog box to specify the event to occur on accounts that flow through this activity. The Raise Event activity adds an event to the event queue for the account. Raising an event on an account does not change the conditions on the account to match the requirements of the event. However, accounts enter the event with the parameters set at the even level (for example, priority level, recurrence setting).

There is one difference between the Raise Event activity and the Start Work Flow activity. With the Raise Event activity, accounts use the event settings (delay, priority, action, and re-entrance) in the attached workflow. With the Start Work Flow activity, the WorkFlow Engine ignores the event settings and begins processing accounts at the first activity.
