# Business Events Overview

> Create, manage, and trigger real-time business events to power automated MoEngage campaigns.

The MoEngage Business Events API allows you to create and trigger specialized events that represent business occurrences—such as a flight delay, a price drop on a watched item, or the release of a new OTT series episode. These events act as triggers for **Business Event Triggered Campaigns**, allowing you to automate high-context communication based on external data points rather than just user behavior.

## Endpoints

The Business Events API is a collection of the following endpoints:

* [Create Business Event](/docs/api/business-events/create-business-event): Define the schema and attributes for a new event.
* [Trigger Business Event](/docs/api/business-events/trigger-business-event): Trigger an event to initiate associated campaigns.
* [Search Business Events](/docs/api/business-events/search-business-events): Retrieve details of existing events using IDs or names.
