# How to allow people outside Flokzu to participate on a process?

People outside Flokzu can interact in two different stages of any process. By starting the process through a **public form** or at intermediate stages through the interaction with **external participants**. 

### Public Form

The public form allows people outside your organization to launch a process instance, which will then follow the flow you've defined. Them do not allow people outside your organization to interact at intermediate stages of the process instance.

### External participants

Once that a process has been modeled, you'll be able to allow the interaction with external participants in any task of your process. Then, after a process is launched, external participants will be able to interact with process instances in the stages of your process where you have given them this permission.
