Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for implementing process metadata triggers and events. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention allow for process metadata events to be defined and generated, including the program code and interfaces that may define the triggering criteria and actions associated with the events. Certain embodiments include ongoing evaluations of triggering criteria for events, including criteria both internal and external to an enterprise system, and generating new event occurrences based on the evaluations of triggering criteria for events. Events and event occurrences may be tracked and monitored, and programmatic actions may be initiated in response to the creation or modification of an event or an event occurrence, including modification of enterprise system software, generation and transmission of targeted user notifications, the generation and customization of electronic documents, and the like.
