# Events

Event entities describe something notable that happened in your Paddle system.

---

When something notable occurs in your system, Paddle creates an event entity with information about what happened. Events are created for actions regardless of how they happened — API request, dashboard, customer action, or system action like a subscription renewal.

Paddle creates events for [event types](https://developer.paddle.com/api-reference/event-types.md). You can use [the list event types operation](https://developer.paddle.com/api-reference/event-types/list-event-types.md) to see what kind of things Paddle creates events for.

Event entities hold information like:

- What kind of event happened.
- When it happened.
- The new or changed entity.

Keep in mind that some actions might create multiple events. For example, resuming a subscription typically results in a `subscription.resumed`, `transaction.created`, and other transaction events being created.
