Did you know that it is not allowed to send message events from within your process to process instances of the same type?

The process engine is based on the BPMN 2.0 specification. Therefore the process engine handles message events the same way BPMN 2.0 specifies. This article explains how BPMN 2.0 specifies message events and how Blueriq implements this specification.
