EmitKit records the moments that matter in your product. Its hierarchy is:

```text
Organization → Project → Channel → Event
```

- An **Organization** has members (owners, admins, and members), API keys,
  and the identities of your users.
- A **Project** represents one product or website.
- A **Channel** groups related events inside a Project, such as `payments` or
  `signups`.
- An **Event** records one occurrence: a title, an optional description, icon,
  tags, and JSON metadata, and optionally the user it's about.

Events appear live in the dashboard's event console, and can send a
[push notification](/concepts/notifications) to members who turn notifications
on.
