# Customer lifecycle BPM

The lifecycle of the customer entity is represented by the diagram below using the [BPMN notation](/v1/docs/bpmn-notation#bpmn-notation).

This diagram refers to events that are emitted as part of the event stream. See the [entity model](/v1/docs/receiving-real-time-data#event-stream) and the [webhook](https://docs.newstore.net/api/webhooks/stream_webhook_sink_hook).

## Customer creation

A customer is created manually using NewStore Associate App or via the checkout process when they provide their email address. See [Managing customers](/v1/docs/using-newstore-associate-app#managing-customers) The `customer.created` event is emitted.

## Customer modification

Once a customer is created, it can be modified in NewStore Omnichannel Manager, see [Editing customer details](/v1/docs/managing-customer-information#editing-customer-details) :

- Updating the customer information, such as their name, triggers the `customer.updated` event.
- Updating the address triggers the `customer.address_updated` event.
- Adding an address, for shipping or billing, triggers the `customer.address_created` event.
- Deleting an address triggers the `customer.address_deleted` event.
