 TIP: Actions defined for transitions also have their own error handling
 logic. See <<statemachine-config-transition-actions-errorhandling>>.
+
+With a reactive api's it is possible to get _Action_ execution error
+back from a _StateMachineEventResult_. Having simple machine which
+errors within action transitioning into state `S1`.
