# Element Specific Events

> [!WARNING]
>
> Method Elements will no longer be supported or maintained beginning December
> 31st, 2025. We recommend using [Method Opal](https://docs.methodfi.com/opal/overview.md) for all new
> integrations. If you are currently using Elements, please reach out to your
> CSM to discuss your migration options.

## Connect

Connect will emit a `success` event when the user has successfully completed all required authentication and verification:

```bash theme={null}
methodelements://connect
  ?op=success
  &element_type=connect
  &entity_id=ent_WyDmJnQgaxVRH
  &accounts=["acc_PFUNazUbpUpfm","acc_gjWr4Cb8H7TLz"]
```

When parsed, will result in the following JSON

```json theme={null}
{
  "op": "success",
  "element_type": "connect",
  "entity_id": "ent_WyDmJnQgaxVRH",
  "accounts": ["acc_PFUNazUbpUpfm","acc_gjWr4Cb8H7TLz"]
}
```

This will list all of the accounts that were consented and connected to at least one of the products passed into the Element token creation (Note: Some accounts are ineligible for some products).

## Other Events

For more granular information about specific actions a user is taking, `auth` and `account_verification` will emit the following events.

### Auth

Auth will emit a variety of events that describe how the user is progressing through the authentication process. Most events are of the following form:

```bash theme={null}
AUTH_{STEP}_{ACTION}
```

STEP will reference a step during the auth process: `INTRO`, `NAME`, `PHONE`, `PHONE_VERIFY`, `DOB`, `ADDRESS`, `SSN4`, `SECQ`, and `CONSENT`.

ACTION will refer to the action the user took: `OPEN`, `CONTINUE`, `SUBMIT`, and `CLOSE`.

**Note**: Not all steps will have all actions, and that there are a few actions that do not follow this pattern

For example, if the user was prompted for the last 4 of their SSN, then submitted their info and was directed to the DOB page, you would see the following events:

```bash theme={null}
AUTH_SSN4_OPEN
AUTH_SSN4_CONTINUE
AUTH_DOB_OPEN
```

### Account Verification

Account Verification will emit a variety of events using a similar structure to auth:

```bash theme={null}
AVF_{STEP}_{ACTION}
```

STEP will reference a step during the account verification process: `ACCOUNT_LIST`, `LEARN_MORE`, and `ACCOUNT_VERIFY`.

ACTION will refer to the action the user took: `OPEN`, `CONTINUE`, `SUBMIT`, `SKIP`, and `CLOSE`.

For example, if the user was prompted to verify their credit card, then submitted their info and was directed to the success screen, you would see the following events:

```bash theme={null}
AVF_ACCOUNT_VERIFY_OPEN
AVF_ACCOUNT_VERIFY_SUBMIT
AVF_SUCCESS_OPEN
```
