Complete the error path

Connect the recovery task to an end event to complete the error handling path.

What to do

• Add a new end event after "Notify customer of failure"
• Connect your recovery task to it
• Optionally rename it "Payment failed" to distinguish it from "Payment complete"

Your completed process

You now have two paths:

• Happy path: Charge card → Send receipt → Payment complete
• Error path: (error) → Notify customer → Payment failed

What you've learned

• ✓ Boundary events intercept failures during task execution
• ✓ The error path is a first-class part of the process model
• ✓ Multiple end events represent different process outcomes
• ✓ Process models that handle errors are more trustworthy and maintainable
