Events are triggered in your site’s backend when certain changes occur to your site’s members. You can write event handlers that react to these events. Event handler functions receive data that correspond to the backend event that has occurred. Use event handlers to create custom responses to the events.

Note: Backend events don’t work when previewing your site.

Working with Members Event Handlers

To add a members event handler, add an events.js file to the Backend or your site if one does not already exist. All event handler functions for your site are defined in this file.

Event handler functions are defined using the following pattern:

export function <wixAppName>_<eventName>(event) { }
javascript | Copy Code

For example, an event handler that handles the creation of a member looks like this:

export function wixMembers_onMemberCreated(event) { }
javascript | Copy Code
