# IEventSender - Global

# IEventSender - Global {#ariaid-title1}

* Release version: Xanadu
* 
* Updated August 1, 2024

* ![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read

The IEventSender API provides methods to send events from a MID Server to a ServiceNow instance and to query the status
of the event queue.

Before calling any methods within this class, you must call the
SNEventSenderProvider.getEventSender() method to instantiate an IEvent
object.

Use the Event API to add/update fields
within an event. Use the SNEventSenderProvider API to instantiate
an event sender object. Then use the IEventSender API to send the
event to a ServiceNow instance.

You must activate the Event Management (com.glideapp.itom.snac) plugin before attempting to access this API. The Event Management plugin requires a separate subscription and must be activated. This
plugin includes demo data and activates related plugins if they are not already active.

For additional information on event management, see [Event Management](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_EM&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-it-operations-management&ft:locale=en-US).
