# TransEvent reference

Transaction events are notes about each event that a transaction goes through during its lifecycle. This reference covers the most common `TransEvent` values.

Most of the time, the `EventData` object contains more details about the `TransEvent`. For example `EventData` may contain information about why an operation failed, or a substatus explaining more about the event.
