What is a good BPMN tool in Tikz

Question

I'm looking for a nice package (or tool) to write BPMN diagrams directly into my documents. However, I had no luck so far.

I found several tools that may help doing the diagrams, and then exporting to SVG or PDF directly. However, I want something more native to LaTeX, like Tikz.

I found this question, but is deleted and I have no access to it. (Also, I'm not sure if this question doesn't belong here, and that is why that question got deleted in the first place. If that is the case, putting some kind of message in this question would be a good idea instead of just sending the question to oblivion.)

Also, found a couple of initial directions, like:

• Draw inside nodes to get BPMN gateway shapes
• or this blog post

But I couldn't find a full package that may help doing a full diagram, and easing the maintenance, or work load to start from scratch to create diagrams.

Any help or pointers on where to look are appreciated.

Have you seen tikz tikz-bpmn package here? https://github.com/behnaaz/gdeploy/blob/master/francegrilles/tikz-bpmn.sty

Examples of how to use it can be found here: https://github.com/behnaaz/gdeploy/blob/master/francegrilles/slides.tex

>     \node[event] (start) {};
>       \node[task,node distance=3em,right=of start] (updglite) { Update \\ all nodes };
>       \draw[sequence,->] (start) -- (updglite);
