The problem of reducing communication interaction in the chain between a natural language message and a BPMN model is considered. For this purpose, a number of authors have proposed a special notation called a mechanism. The procedure for constructing a mechanism using a given BPMN model is considered. The possibility of building a mechanism only for BPMN models that satisfy certain conditions is shown: the model must contain at least one artifact associated with one of the gateway actions; gateways should not contain more than two choices; the model should not end with a gateway; the model should not contain an AND-OR gateway. The procedure for constructing a BPMN model using a given mechanism is considered. The possibility of such a transformation is shown if the following conditions are met: the presence of a one-to-one correspondence of the elements and functions of the mechanism, the use of a single tool and a single strip in the mechanism. For models that do not satisfy these conditions, the use of the mechanism is problematic: it turns out to be either too cumbersome or too simple, which does not facilitate the simplification of communicative interaction. It is concluded that additional research is necessary in order to either improve the mechanism or use a different notation that does not have the disadvantages of the mechanism.
