# Notifications and States

When you initiate a wire transfer with Column, it goes through multiple state transitions. One of the most powerful features of Column lies in our ability to notify you during each transition. This keeps you updated throughout the process and allows you to track the outcome of that transfer.

### States and Events

For outgoing wires, a wire will generally move from `initiated` to `completed` in rapid succession. Below are the states and events that an outgoing wire transfer may go through.

| **Stage** ::minmax-200 | **Webhook Event**                      | **Description**                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Hold                   | `wire.outgoing_transfer.hold_created`  | The wire transfer was created with `hold: true`. The funds are locked in the holding balance and the wire is not sent until it is cleared. Clearing the hold fires the standard initiated event. |
| Initiated              | `wire.outgoing_transfer.initiated`     | Column will submit your wire to the Fed once it is open (for wires that are submitted between 6:45pm ET and 9:00pm ET).                                                                          |
| Completed              | `wire.outgoing_transfer.completed`     | The wire transfer request is successfully processed, requiring no further action.                                                                                                                |
| Manual Review          | `wire.outgoing_transfer.manual_review` | The wire transfer request is undergoing a manual review which will be approved or rejected by Column.                                                                                            |
| Rejected               | `wire.outgoing_transfer.rejected`      | The wire transfer request has been rejected by Column or by the Federal Reserve (this event will rarely happen).                                                                                 |
| Canceled               | `wire.outgoing_transfer.canceled`      | A held wire transfer has been canceled, and the held funds have been returned to the available balance.                                                                                          |

| Hold                   | `wire.incoming_transfer.hold_created` | Column has received an incoming wire transfer and placed it on hold (available if enabled for your platform). The funds are held in the holding balance until the hold is cleared. Clearing the hold fires the standard completed event. |
| Completed              | `wire.incoming_transfer.completed`    | Column has received an incoming wire transfer (credit only) from another ODFI, and processed it successfully.                                                                                                                            |
