# verb:status

> > jambonz => websocket server

A `verb:status` message is sent by jambonz to the websocket server when a verb has just started or completed executing.

> Note: The `notifyEvents` attribute of the session config defaults to `false`. This must be set to `true` in order for `verb:status` messages to be enabled, and they will only be sent where the app has provided an `id` property on verbs it includes in a `command` message.
