# Event Handler Configuration

Event handlers provide a way to notify your application that the status of an action has changed, so that the application can avoid repeatedly calling the QueueInfo action to obtain status information.

Event handlers can be configured to run when asynchronous actions begin processing (OnStart), finish (OnFinish), or fail (OnError).

This section describes the event handlers that are available, and their configuration parameters.
