Hi @selvapitchu,

what exactly are you looking for?

A tool to create your BPMN workflows? If yes, did you see the Zeebe modeler?

What did you try so far?
What are the problems?

Best regards,
Philipp

Regarding your questions:

  1. So, you want to create workflow instances via UI? If yes, have a look at: https://github.com/zeebe-io/zeebe-simple-monitor
  2. I don’t know what you mean with “under cover agent concepts”? Please explain what this is about. However, you can read more about message correlation here:

To trigger a workflow, use a client lib to publishMessage(), with the name of a start message event in a deployed workflow. It is simple to do. You just wrap that in whatever trigger you need, whether it is REST, or some callback from another library.

Zeebe has powerful primitives. There are not many “out-of-the-box” integrations at the moment, but they are simple to write.
