# Timeline events

Timeline events deliver information about account activity to your end users.

> 📘 Timeline events versus data events
>
> [Timeline events](https://developers.pismo.io/pismo-docs/docs/timeline-overview) are meant to deliver messages to your end users, such as a credit-limit notification in a mobile banking app. These are not the same as [data events](https://developers.pismo.io/pismo-docs/docs/event-data).

Timeline events are defined with a **type** and a **category**. Your Pismo representative works with you to define the categories and types for your organization. The following table illustrates an example configuration.

<Table align={["left","left"]}>
