# Notifications for the AWS Partner Central Channel API
<a name="channel-api-events"></a>

Events for the channel API provide real-time notifications about changes in the status or the details of channel-related activities. These events help keep your systems in sync with AWS Partner Central, and help ensure timely responses and updates.

## Prerequisites
<a name="events-prerequites"></a>

You need the appropriate IAM permissions to access and manage events from the AWS Partner Central Channel API. For information about the available actions, resources, and condition keys for EventBridge, see [Using IAM policy conditions in Amazon EventBridge](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eb-use-conditions.html#events-pattern-detail-type) in the *Amazon EventBridge User Guide*. One of the condition keys is `events:detail-type`, which you can use to scope permissions to specific event types.

The following example policy demonstrates how to customize and scope permissions for the events. The `AllowPutRuleForPartnercentralChannelEvents` statement allows the creation of rules, but only for events from the `aws.partnercentral-channel` source.

For detailed IAM policy examples, refer to the AWS documentation on EventBridge permissions.

```
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",		 	 	 
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "AllowPutRuleForPartnerCentralChannelEvents",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": "events:PutRule",
      "Resource": "*",
      "Condition": {
        "StringEquals": {
          "events:source": "aws.partnercentral-channel"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

## Configure Amazon EventBridge to monitor events
<a name="eventbridge-setup"></a>

To monitor channel API events, you create an EventBridge rule that matches the events that you want to capture. You can use the AWS Management Console or the AWS SDKs to create and manage rules. The following sections explain how to create rules using both methods. Regardless of the method you use, you must create the rule in the US East (N. Virginia) `us-east-1` Region.

### AWS Management Console setup
<a name="eventbridge-console-setup"></a>

To set up an EventBridge rule using the AWS Management Console, follow the steps in [Creating rules that react to events in Amazon EventBridge](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eb-create-rule.html) in the *Amazon EventBridge User Guide*. When creating the rule, you must set the event bus to **default**, and create the rule in the US East (N. Virginia) `us-east-1` Region.

Following is an example of an event rule:

```
{
    "source": ["aws.partnercentral-channel"],
    "detail": {
        "catalog": ["AWS"]
    }
}
```

### AWS SDK setup
<a name="eventbridge-sdk-setup"></a>

You can use the AWS SDKs to create and manage EventBridge rules programmatically. For more information, see [PutRule](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/APIReference/API_PutRule.html) in the *Amazon EventBridge API Reference*.

The following example uses the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3):

```
import boto3

client = boto3.client('events', region_name='us-east-1')

response = client.put_rule(
    Name='ChannelHandshakeCreatedRule',
    EventPattern=
    '{
        "source": ["aws.partnercentral-channel"],
        "detail-type": ["Channel Handshake Created"],
        "detail": {"catalog": ["AWS"]}
    }',
    State='ENABLED'
)
print('Rule ARN:', response['RuleArn'])
```

## Learn more about channel API events
<a name="learn-about-events"></a>

The following sections describe the channel API event types, scenarios that trigger them, and event examples.

### Event types
<a name="types-of-events"></a>

Following are the event types and their triggers.
+ [Channel Handshake Created](#channel-handshake-created): Triggered when a new channel handshake is created.
+ [Channel Handshake Accepted](#channel-handshake-accepted): Triggered when a new channel handshake is accepted.
+ [Channel Handshake Rejected](#channel-handshake-rejected): Triggered when a new channel handshake is rejected.

### Channel Handshake Created
