ECA token generate event

Available since: 2.0.0

Provided tokens

Token Description
[event] The event.
[event:machine_name] The machine name of the ECA event.
[session_user] The user account that dispatched the event, regardless if ECA is processing models under a different account. This is only available if ECA is configured to always run under a specific account.

Fires when a token matching the configured pattern is encountered during Drupal's token replacement process. This allows providing dynamic token values on demand.

Performance consideration

Token replacement happens very frequently across the system (emails, paths, fields, etc.). Keep ECA reactions lightweight to avoid performance issues.
