Add the rejection outcome

A gateway with only one outgoing path isn't much of a decision. We need a second end event for the case where the request is rejected.

What to do

  • Add a new end event (the thick circle) somewhere below or beside the existing end event
  • Connect the gateway to this new end event with a sequence flow (the arrow)
  • This represents the "Request rejected" outcome

Your process should now have two possible endings: one for approval, one for rejection.

> 💡 End events mark where a process path terminates. A process can have multiple end events for different outcomes — completed, cancelled, failed, etc.
