# Overview

Discord.js (and in turn Discord Bot Studio bots) include event-driven code. This means you can have your bot listen for certain events that take place in a server, and respond accordingly.

Each event can have it's own chain of connected responses. In this way, you can control how the bot reacts to each type of event, or ignore it by connecting no response nodes.
