7 **iXPath** uses the BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) standard for the translation part.
8 BPMN is a business process modeling method to describe the business activities of an organization in a graphical representation.

10 Below an example of a flow traced by the iXPath BPMN module:

13
14 As we can see, there are 2 main types: Connectors and Gateways
15
16 = Connectors =
17
18 A connector is an algorithm that is executed via a trigger. In iXPath, the trigger is always an input file.
19
20 In this part, we go through each of the connectors and their particularities:
21
22 == Listeners ==
23
24 A listening connector (or listener) is the entry point for a scenario. It allows the created event to be routed through a communication channel (FTP, SFTP, AS2, MAIL, FILE, Webservice). Communication's config is required to handle those connectors.
25
26 **//Note~://** iXPath detects incoming events in real-time.

40 == Scenario ==
41
42 A scenario connector deals directly with the input file, either translating it into some desired format or copying it, etc...
