# Events

All events live under RoundlyConsulting\\Requests\\Events and carry public properties:

| Event | Payload | Fired when |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `RequestCreated` | Request $request | A request is created. |
| `RequestStatusChanged` | Request $request | The status really changes — by a direct decision, reopen, cancel, expire, or the engine resolving the approval request. Fires before RequestRejected, RequestCancelled or RequestExpired. |
| `ApprovalRecorded` | Request $request, Model $actor | An approval is recorded through the facade or ResolveRequest — even when the request stays New. |
| `ApprovalRevoked` | Request $request, Model $actor | The reopen signal: reopen() withdrew the actor’s decision (while the round is still open) or moved the request back to New. A reopen that changed nothing fires nothing. |
| `RequestRejected` | Request $request, Model $actor | A rejection resolves the request to Rejected — after the status is written, so listeners see Rejected; the actor is the latest rejecting approver. |
| `RequestCancelled` | Request $request | cancel() is called, or the approvals engine resolves the round as cancelled. |
| `RequestExpired` | Request $request | expire() is called (directly or by requests:expire), or the approvals engine lapses the round. |

## Listening

```php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Event;
use RoundlyConsulting\Requests\Enums\Status;
use RoundlyConsulting\Requests\Events\RequestRejected;
use RoundlyConsulting\Requests\Events\RequestStatusChanged;

Event::listen(function (RequestStatusChanged $event): void {
    if ($event->request->status === Status::Approved) {
        // notify the author, write an audit entry, kick off the payout…
    }
});

Event::listen(function (RequestRejected $event): void {
    $event->request;   // the Request
    $event->actor;     // the approver who rejected it
});
```

Status events fire only for a status that really changed, after it is written: RequestStatusChanged first, then RequestRejected, RequestExpired or RequestCancelled. ApprovalRevoked is the reopen signal; ApprovalRecorded fires for every recorded approval.

The events fire however the change arrived: a round the approvals engine lapses (its own expiry, Approvals::expire()) expires the request and fires RequestStatusChanged and RequestExpired too, and a round the engine cancels fires RequestStatusChanged and RequestCancelled.
