# Enters Group

Engage registers this event when a new contact joins a group.

Engage **registers** this event when members are added to a group in the following ways:

- Single members added to a group individually in the Engage interface.
- Single members added to a group individually with an automation.
- Members added with certain API methods. ​​

Engage **does not register** this event when members are added to a group in these ways:

- Members who are imported into a group in a CSV or XML file. These imports can be initiated on the Engage interface, with an automation or via the API.
- Contacts who are added automatically to the group automatically as a result of the API methods ​*messageSendSingle*​ and ​*messageSendTransactional​*.
- Members who are created with Control XML.
