State changes between Use Case Initiator & Receiver actors 

I would like to know what's the best way to model a  situation when both initiator and a receiver actors are involved in a Use case.

- initiator sends a request for contact exchange (the inititator has a contact on pending state)

- receiver approves the contact exchange (the receiver has a contact on active state)

- initiator receives a confirmation (the inititator has contact on active state)

 

My ideas would be:

-  state diagram for "Contact" object - but that will only reflect the changes only for one Actor.

- BPMN diagram to reflect the process flow for both Actors

 

Is this enough or there is another diagram I can use?

Also, these diagrams focus on the main scenario but the alternatives how should be described in a diagram?

Thanks!

I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven. Grandma June was as great a cook as she was a teacher to me. She never followed a recipe “to...
