# Domain Events

> Audit trail of status transitions and actions on a Bizzy domain

Each domain has an events timeline on its detail page. The timeline is your
audit trail for verifications, registration milestones, and status changes.

## What shows up

Events are logged for the transitions that matter:

| Event                          | Fires when                                                                                                  |
| ------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Domain created                 | You added the domain (via verify or register)                                                               |
| Verification check             | The verification workflow ran against DNS                                                                   |
| Verification succeeded         | TXT record observed, status moved to active                                                                 |
| Registration purchased         | Stripe checkout completed                                                                                   |
| Registration activated         | The registrar confirmed the registration                                                                    |
| Registration submitted         | A new registration completed — the registrar emails the registrant to verify their address (ICANN, 15 days) |
| Registrant changed             | The registrant contact changed — this re-triggers ICANN registrant email verification                       |
| Registrant notice dismissed    | You dismissed the ICANN registrant verification banner                                                      |
| Status changed                 | Any transition — pending → active, active → expiring, etc.                                                  |
| Domain settings updated        | You changed auto-renew, WHOIS privacy, or transfer lock                                                     |
| DNS records updated            | You added, changed, or removed a DNS record — or Bizzy set up DNS hosting for the domain                    |
| Email address added            | An address was created on the domain                                                                        |
| Email DNS records propagated   | Every email DNS record resolved, and verification with the email provider began                             |
| Email authentication rechecked | You re-checked email authentication and the status changed                                                  |

<Note>
  There is no "registrant verified" event: the registrar doesn't report
  verification completion, so the timeline records when verification was
  requested — not when (or whether) it finished.
</Note>

The exact set depends on the source (registered vs. verified) and how old the
domain is.

## Reading the timeline

* Most recent event appears at the top.
* Each event shows a timestamp and a short description. Timestamps are in your
  local timezone — hover one for the UTC time, relative age, and a copyable ISO
  string.
* One action can record more than one event when it genuinely changes more than
  one thing. A successful verification writes two: the verification itself, and
  the status change from pending to active. Both share a timestamp, and their
  order is stable every time you load the page.

## When this is useful

* **Debugging verification.** If a domain stays stuck in pending, the timeline
  shows what the verification workflow actually saw in DNS.
* **Audit.** If a domain unexpectedly lost active status, the timeline tells you
  when and, often, why.
* **Compliance.** If someone asks "when did we add this domain," the answer is
  here.
