Each notification contains an eventCode
that specifies which type of event triggered the notification. Some eventCodes
are enabled in standard notifications by default, and some need to be enabled.
In addition to standard notifications, you can set up endpoints to receive specific types of notifications.

Event codes
Adyen sends standard notifications with Default event codes that can't be disabled. You can also enable additional non-default event codes.
We sometimes create new notification types and event codes, you should set up your notification server to be able to accept notifications of more types and receive more event code values than are listed below. When we create a new event code, you have to create new business logic if you want to use it.
Default event codes
By default, standard notifications include notifications with the following eventCode
values. There are different categories of event codes:
Transaction events

AUTHORISATION | The For payment methods that return an immediate authorisation result, such as cards, you will also receive an AUTHORISED notification. Although you can use the payment result from the API, we recommend that you rely on the notification to trigger any business logic to make sure that your system is able to handle both synchronous and asynchronous payment flows. |
AUTHORISATION_ADJUSTMENT | The The |
CANCELLATION | The The |
CANCEL_OR_REFUND | The The |
CAPTURE | The The |

NOTIFICATION_OF_FRAUD | The alert passed on by issuers to schemes and subsequently to processors. Visa calls them TC40 and Mastercard calls them System to Avoid Fraud Effectively (SAFE).

PREARBITRATION_LOST | Your pre-arbitration case has been declined by the cardholder's bank. |
PREARBITRATION_WON | Your pre-arbitration case has been accepted by the cardholder's bank. |
