# Platform Event Message

Resume the flow interview when it receives a platform event message.

Make sure to familiarize yourself with [Paused Flow Interview Considerations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.flow_considerations_design_pause.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Before you design flows that contain one or more Wait elements, understand the behavior and guidelines.").

## Filter Platform Event Messages

If you leave the condition requirements set to **No Conditions**, the flow interview resumes when it receives any platform event message, regardless of field values. The fields are defined in the platform event definition.

## Store Output Values in Variables

When a platform event message resumes a flow, the message provides one output value. The output value includes the values for every field on the platform event message that resumed the flow. To use values from the message, store Platform Event Message in a record variable. Make sure that the record variable’s object matches the platform event.

For example, to reference Expected Delivery Date from a Vendor Response platform event, store Platform Event Message in the `{!vendorResponse}` record variable. Then reference `{!vendorResponse.Expected_Delivery_Date__c}` to get the specific field value.

Note To create a record variable to store values from the platform event message, you must have the Customize Application permission.
