Register a New Event Handler event.bind

Choose a tool for developing with an AI agent:

  • use Alaio Vibecode to build an app for Bitrix24 from a task description without knowing any programming language. The agent writes the code and deploys the app to a server, with no manual hosting setup
  • use the MCP server to develop a REST API integration in your own project. The agent refers to the official REST documentation

Who can execute the method: any user

The event.bind method registers a new event handler.

The method works only within the context of application authorization. It can work both under a user with portal administration rights and under a regular user. For a user without administrator rights, the method is available with the following restrictions:

  1. Offline events are unavailable; attempting to install them will throw an exception.
  2. Events are installed on behalf of the current user (see the description of parameter auth_type). An explicit indication auth_type that differs from the ID current user will also throw an exception.

Note

Since requests will originate from Bitrix servers, any URL must be accessible for external GET/POST requests.

The interface for this method is BX24.callBind.

Note

When an application is deleted or updated, its actions will be removed. Therefore, they must be set from scratch in the installer of each version.

Events will not be sent to the application until the installation is complete. Check the application installation

Method Parameters

Required parameters are marked with *

Name
type

Description

event*
string

Event name

handler*
string

Link to the event handler

auth_type
integer

Identifier of the user under whom the event handler is authorized. By default, the authorization of the user whose actions triggered the event will be used

event_type
string

Values: online|offline. By default, event_type=online, and the method's behavior remains unchanged. If event_type=offline is called, the method works with offline events

auth_connector
string

Source key. This parameter is intended for offline events. It allows excluding false event triggers

options
object

Additional settings for the registered event. The set of fields depends on the event.

For the ONOFFLINEEVENT event, the minTimeout parameter is supported — the minimum interval between notifications in seconds. Default is 1. More details in the article Notification Frequency

Name
type

Description

error
string

String error code. It consists of digits, Latin letters, and underscores. It may arrive empty — in that case only error_description shows the reason

error_description
string

Error message for the developer. Do not show it to the end user without processing

Possible Error Codes

Status

Code

Error message

Description

400

ERROR_EVENT_NOT_FOUND

Event not found

The event is incorrectly specified

403

ACCESS_DENIED

Access denied! Offline events binding requires administrator access rights

The method was launched by someone other than the administrator when registering an offline event handler

403

ACCESS_DENIED

Access denied! Event binding with AUTH_TYPE requires administrator access rights

The method was launched by someone other than the administrator and specified the auth_type of another user

Statuses and System Error Codes

HTTP Status: 4xx, 5xx

The errors described below are returned by the REST API itself, not by the logic of a specific method. They can arrive in response to any method.

Status

Code
Error Message

Description

500

INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR
Internal server error

An internal server error has occurred. Retry the call, and if the error persists, contact the server administrator or Bitrix24 technical support

500

ERROR_UNEXPECTED_ANSWER
Server returned an unexpected response

The server returned an unexpected response. Retry the call, and if the error persists, contact the server administrator or Bitrix24 technical support

503

QUERY_LIMIT_EXCEEDED
Too many requests

The request intensity limit has been exceeded

429

OPERATION_TIME_LIMIT
Method is blocked due to operation time limit

The method is blocked because the request resource intensity limit has been exceeded. The block is lifted automatically once the accumulated execution time of the method no longer exceeds the limit

401

NO_AUTH_FOUND
Wrong authorization data

The request contains no authorization data: neither an access token nor a webhook code was passed

401

INVALID_REQUEST
Https required

Methods are called over the HTTPS protocol only

401

OVERLOAD_LIMIT
REST API is blocked due to overload

The REST API is blocked due to overload. This is a manual individual block. To have it lifted, contact Bitrix24 technical support

401

ACCESS_DENIED
REST is available only on commercial plans

REST API access is not active for this account. In Bitrix24 Cloud, check the current plan or trial status: Vibe+ plans include REST API access, while Essentials plans do not. A webhook receives a different error message — REST is available only by subscription

401

INVALID_CREDENTIALS
Invalid request credentials

No active webhook with the specified user identifier and secret code was found

404

ERROR_METHOD_NOT_FOUND
Method not found!

No method with this name was found. The name is misspelled, the method does not exist in the REST API, or it is unavailable without the required scope

401

insufficient_scope
The request requires higher privileges than provided by the webhook token

The request requires broader permissions than the token has: for a webhook these are the permissions granted to it, for an application it is the scope. For an application, the error message ends with provided by the access token

401

expired_token
The access token provided has expired

The access token has expired

401

user_access_error
The user does not have access to the application

The application is installed, but the Bitrix24 administrator has granted access to it only to specific users

403

PORTAL_DELETED
Portal was deleted

The public part of the site is closed. To open it on an on-premise installation, disable the "Temporary closure of the public part of the site" option. Path to the setting: Desktop > Settings > Product Settings > Module Settings > Main Module > Temporary closure of the public part of the site
