# Script events

{% hint style="info" %}
**An event** is an external influence that the bot can respond to. For example, the receipt of a message from a subscriber. 
{% endhint %}

The bot always starts the script on some of the events. And chooses exactly the event that fits best. You can read more about this in [this article.](https://app.gitbook.com/o/-M0DMiuC0q5onO-ID_le/s/uRfd5lEYYH6D50QjzeAX/~/changes/996w3IhouLXkvHdJdNpB/scripts/basics/how-the-script-is-chosen)
