Events

Orchestration events are namespaced envelopes (shopify.order.created) on the org event bus. They are triggers into existing Business Flows — not a second workflow engine.

Rules of thumb​

  1. Connectors / backends emit only — never start FlowRunner.
  2. Event names must contain a namespace (dot-separated).
  3. Flows opt in with metadata.trigger: { type: 'event', event: '...' }.
  4. Production: versioning, correlation/causation, optional sequence ordering, TTL, depth/loop protection, replay APIs.
