Thanks for the clarification @selkhlifi. You basically covered all the areas.

Since this is still not released and under development you can have a look at:

- [This](https://github.com/flowable/flowable-engine/blob/master/docs/docusaurus/docs/bpmn/ch07b-BPMN-Constructs.md#external-worker-task) for the BPMN documentation
- [This](https://github.com/flowable/flowable-engine/blob/master/docs/docusaurus/docs/cmmn/ch06-cmmn.md#external-worker-task) for the CMMN documentation

There is also a dedicated REST api under `external-job-api` in the [flowable-external-job-rest](https://github.com/flowable/flowable-engine/tree/master/modules/flowable-external-job-rest) module. There will be a dedicated Swagger documentation for it as well.

Please have a look at it, try it out and any feedback is very appreciated so we can improve on this before the final release.

Cheers,  
Filip
