Business Processes can be used in four scenarios within a connection. The Business Process will be activated based on the stage of the connection transformation lifecycle.

**Business Process to be executed for incoming file**

Any Business Process activated here will get executed as soon as a message is received by the connection.

**Business Process to be executed for Outgoing file**

Any Business Process activated here will get executed when this connection is used as an **outbound** connection.

**Business Process to be executed for Synchronous Response**

Any Business Process activated here will get executed **asynchronously** when this connection receives a synchronous response.

**Business Process to be executed for Acknowledgement**

Any Business Process activated here will and will send back as an **asynchronous** acknowledgement back to the sender.
