Activiti move to a particular task on event like runtime wiring

We want to model the process such that in case of any outside event, we want the process to go to a particular step. Now the process can be at any step but as soon as the event occurs, it should be back to a particular task. We can not attach an event listener to any particular task.

Let me explain this with a sample business process.

enter image description here

Lets say the task is in Approve task or Pending stage. Now in case of reset event I want to move the process to Review Task state. I have only shown 3 steps in the example but there could a lot more task. All I am looking for a way to listen to an external event ( via API) and reset it to be back at Review Task. How can we achieve this in activiti ?

Ok, from your description it sounds like you are really looking for a case management solution. Given events trigger micro processes within a specified list of "Case events". While Activiti does not include case features (CMMN) the "Flowable" project which has taken Activiti to the next level includes both a BPMN and CMMN engine and should certainly meet your requirements.
