# On Socket.IO Start

## Overview

![The On Socket.IO Start Node.](https://2628349686-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fwnv17cpjDin2deSlOz0z%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-22f8579f84d4949ee0fe8f7af201af0c9ed18eb5%2Fonsocketiostartnodereal.png?alt=media)

**On Socket.IO Start** is an **Event Listener Node** notifying that the **Socket.IO** connection was successfully established, therefore enabling the user to trigger a **Logic Branch** on said connection to the *Socket.IO* server.

**Socket.IO Communication** in **Incari** is available as a plugin and is enabled as default. However, in the case that it is disabled in the **Plugins Editor**, it will not appear in the **Project Settings** and **On Socket.IO Start** will not show up in the [**Toolbox**](https://github.com/cgi-studio-gmbh/incari-doc/blob/2023.1/toolbox/communication/overview.md). Please refer to the [**Plugins Editor**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2023.1/modules/plugins/communication/socketiomanager) to find out more information.

[**Scope**](https://github.com/cgi-studio-gmbh/incari-doc/blob/2023.1/toolbox/communication/overview.md#scopes): **Project**, **Scene**.
