# The create event in Amazon Connect Agent Workspace
Create event

The create event in the Amazon Connect agent workspace results in the ` onCreate` handler passed into the `AmazonConnectApp.init()` to be invoked. ` Init` should be called in an application once it has successfully loaded and is ready to start handling events from the workspace. The create event provides the *appInstanceId* and the * appConfig* .
+ **appInstanceId**: The ID for this instance of the app provided by the workspace.
+ **appConfig**: The application configuration being used by the instance for this app.
+ **contactScope**: Provides the current ` contactId` if the app is opened during an active contact.
