Add an error boundary event
Let's protect "Charge credit card" with an error boundary event.
How to add a boundary event
- Hover slowly over the "Charge credit card" task
- A small circle icon appears on the bottom edge of the task — that's the boundary event handle
- Click it to place an error boundary event on the task
- Drag a boundary event shape from the palette
- Drop it directly onto the task — it snaps to the boundary
Alternatively:
The boundary event should appear as a small circle with a lightning bolt (⚡) sitting on the edge of the task.
> 💡 The event sits *on* the task, not beside it. This visual attachment makes it clear which task this error handling belongs to.
