# Change Credit (S)

This job grants additional credits to the credit account of a system user.

In Engage, you must have a credit account to send messages, upload images, or import files. The credits on this account let you send messages and complete other system tasks.

## General

| ​Name​ | Displays the name of the automation that is defined in the **​Edit Event**​ window. |
| --- | --- |
| ​Description​ | Displays the description of the automation that is defined in the ​**Edit Event**​ window. |
| ​Event​ | Displays the event that is defined in the ​**Edit Event​** window. Every time this event occurs, Engage executes the dependent job. |
| ​Job​ | Defines the job. Engage executes this job automatically every time the event occurs. For a list of all available jobs, see [​All Available Event-Based Jobs​](/v1/docs/all-available-event-based-jobs). |

## Define Job​

This area defines the specific parameters of the job.

| Setting | Description |
| --- | --- |
| ​Contact​ | This input field defines the system user whose credit is changed. Use the ![](https://cdn.document360.io/554b9b98-6720-4d8b-9919-c7b203d72648/Images/Documentation/c997076d-6e57-4d80-b9ca-552e07cd2a3e.png) symbol to select one user. - ​Use Event Parameter:​ When selected, this check box grants more system credit to the system user involved in the event. |
| ​Credit Amount​ | This input field defines the amount of credit added each time that the job executes. |

## Define Delay​

In this area, you can define a time delay between the event and the resulting job. If you define a delay, the system waits the specified amount of time after the event takes place before executing the event-based job. If you do not define a delay, the system executes the job immediately after the event takes place.

> Hint:
> 
> Engage calculates the selection for an event-based job when the job is executed, not when the event takes place. When you define a delay, the selection is calculated after the delay

- **​Delay:​** Defines whether there is a delay between the event and the resulting job.
  - **​No:** ​There is no delay between the event and the resulting job. When Engage registers the event, the system executes the job immediately.
  - **​Yes:** ​Creates a delay between the event and the resulting job. **​Unit:​** Defines the unit of time with which Engage calculates the delay. **​Value:​** Defines the duration of the delay.
