The system monitors your contacts to determine when they complete the event. When they do, they move to the next step on the whiteboard plan. Events are divided into these sections: [Communication](/v1/docs/communication-events) [System Activity](/v1/docs/system-activity) [External Event](/v1/docs/external-events) [Other](/v1/docs/other)
