Events
Any alteration to data on ChartHop represents an event.
You can retrieve events with the Event API, or set an app web hook to subscribe to an event pattern. Note that events are not exactly the same as changes (such as hires or departures), because an event can represent an amendment, or even a cancellation, of a change.
For example, if a new hire is entered, and then the date of that new hire is altered, this is just one new-hire change, but it's two events: change.create.hire and change.update.hire.
In general an event consists of an entity (the thing that is being acted upon), and a type the type of action that is happening to the entity. In some cases the event has a subtype which further describes the type of entity. All events have a code that consists of either entity.type or entity.type.subtype
