# Events Plugins can register their own custom event types for use with NetBox [event rules](../../models/extras/eventrule.md). This is accomplished by calling the `register()` method on an instance of the `Event` class. This can be done anywhere within the plugin. An example is provided below. ```python from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _ from netbox.events import EventType, EVENT_TYPE_KIND_SUCCESS EventType( name='ticket_opened', text=_('Ticket opened'), type=EVENT_TYPE_KIND_SUCCESS ).register() ``` ::: netbox.events.Event
