# Event Protocol
{doctitle} (EP) is a standard for sending analytics [events](https://docs.coveo.com/en/260/) to Coveo.

It simplifies event tracking by reducing the number of events sent.

EP also streamlines the event payload, requiring fewer fields.
Such streamlining results in a more efficient and less error-prone event tracking process, yielding better [machine learning](https://docs.coveo.com/en/188/) [models](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1012/) and [Coveo Analytics reports](https://docs.coveo.com/en/266/).
