# For the developer: switching to basic events

Article: How to save on events

To reduce limit consumption, the developer changes the sending of the selected events. The instructions below explain what to consider when switching to basic types.

In such cases, you can preserve the meaning of the tracked action and change its markup: bring the structure and field names to the format of the selected basic event. Pass the developer a task to set up sending using the appropriate SDK method or a suitable Post API method. Simply renaming a custom event is not enough: the sending must use the format and method of the basic event.
