# How to Use Event Module
|
||
|
||
In this document, you’ll learn about the different methods in the Event Module's service and how to use them.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Resolve Event Module's Service
|
||
|
||
In your workflow's step, you can resolve the Event Module's service from the Medusa container:
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
import { Modules } from "@medusajs/framework/utils"
|
||
import { createStep } from "@medusajs/framework/workflows-sdk"
|
||
|
||
const step1 = createStep(
|
||
"step-1",
|
||
async ({}, { container }) => {
|
||
const eventModuleService = container.resolve(
|
||
Modules.EVENT
|
||
)
|
||
|
||
// TODO use eventModuleService
|
||
}
|
||
)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This will resolve the service of the configured Event Module, which is the [Local Event Module](https://docs.medusajs.com/resources/infrastructure-modules/event/local) by default.
|
||
|
||
You can then use the Event Module's service's methods in the step. The rest of this guide details these methods.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## emit
|
||
|
||
This method emits one or more events. Subscribers listening to the event(s) are executed asynchronously.
|
||
|
||
### Example
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
await eventModuleService.emit({
|
||
name: "user.created",
|
||
data: {
|
||
user_id: "user_123"
|
||
}
|
||
})
|
||
```
|
||
|
||

## subscribe
|
||
|
||
This method adds a subscriber to an event. It's mainly used internally to register subscribers.
|
||
|
||
### Example
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
eventModuleService.subscribe("user.created", async (data) => {
|
||
console.log("User created", data)
|
||
})
|
||
```
|
||
|
||

||
|
||
<TypeList types={[{"name":"eventName","type":"`string` \\| `symbol`","description":"The name of the event to subscribe to.","optional":false,"defaultValue":"","expandable":false,"children":[]},{"name":"subscriber","type":"[Subscriber](../../../types/EventBusTypes/types/types.EventBusTypes.Subscriber/page.mdx)","description":"The subscriber function to execute when the event is emitted.","optional":false,"defaultValue":"","expandable":false,"children":[]},{"name":"context","type":"[SubscriberContext](../../../types/EventBusTypes/types/types.EventBusTypes.SubscriberContext/page.mdx)","description":"The context of the subscriber.","optional":true,"defaultValue":"","expandable":false,"children":[{"name":"subscriberId","type":"`string`","description":"The ID of the subscriber.
