Why must processes using event-driven connectors be deployed?

Processes using event-driven connectors need to be deployed primarily because they function on a model that requires them to listen for events in real-time. This functionality cannot operate in a test mode, as test environments typically do not have the capability to handle real-time event generation and response required for these connectors to work effectively.

Event-driven connectors are designed to trigger processes based on specific events occurring, and this necessitates a live environment where the events can occur and be processed instantly. Deploying the process ensures that it can actively listen and respond to events as they happen, which is essential for maintaining the intended workflow and functionality of event-driven integrations.
