# Events

How to access on Fynd Commerce
Commerce Panel → Sales Channel (select application) → Communication → Events

## Introduction

Use this section to configure Email and SMS responses for customer-facing events using predefined templates. These can be used for account actions (e.g., signup, login), order updates, shipping notifications, returns, refunds, and more.

**Interface:**

* **Tabs** represent event categories (e.g., Signup & Login, Orders, Shipments, Customer Support, Payments, B2B).
* **Sub-tabs** allow further grouping of related event types (e.g., under Signup & Login: Authentication, Registration, Account Updates).
* **Events** are listed within each sub-tab, where you can configure individual notification templates for Email or SMS.


This structure is designed to improve scalability and event management efficiency, especially for shipment-related use cases involving various fulfilment types.

**Event Categories (Tabs)**

| Tab | Description |
|  --- | --- |
| Signup & Login | Customer authentication and account actions |
| Orders | Events triggered when orders are placed, updated, or cancelled |
| Shipments | Includes Processing, Logistics, Cancellation & Returns, Refunds |
| Customer Support | Interaction-related events (e.g., support tickets, resolution updates) |
| Payments | Payment confirmation, failure, refund initiation |
| B2B | Events like Registration, KYC, and Quotation processing for B2B workflows |


Each tab holds relevant **sub-tabs** and grouped events for easy configuration.

## Search and Fulfilment Filters

To streamline event management, enhancements have been introduced within the Orders tab:

* Search Bar: A search bar is placed at the top of the Order Processing and Order Cancellation event lanes. It allows you to search by event name, making it easier to locate and manage specific event configurations.
* Fulfilment Type Filter: A dropdown filter is available alongside the search bar in the Orders lane. It helps narrow down events based on fulfilment modes configured under your sales channel.
  * The default selected option is Delivery – Standard.
  * The options shown in the dropdown are dynamically sourced from the Fulfilment Options configured by the merchant. This means only the fulfilment types created under the merchant's Fulfilment Options section will appear in the filter list.


These controls are specific to the Orders tab and do not apply to other event categories.

## Events and Responses

Events subscription is a method of sending a response to the customer when a particular action takes place. Actions like signup, login, invite, order placement, order delivery, order cancellation, refund, and many more are known as events.

SMS and Email are its corresponding responses and when any of these events occur, a response is sent to the user.
