# What Does The "Unsupported event received on socket \<event\_name>" Error Mean?

This error occurs if a client event has been triggered and the name of the event is not allowed. Client events must have a `client-` prefix (note the hyphen).

For more information, please see the [client events documentation](https://pusher.com/docs/channels/using_channels/events#triggering-client-events).
