# Mark an Event Enrichment as the account default

`PUT https://api.pagerduty.com/enrichment/event_enrichments/default`

Event Enrichments allow you to automatically add contextual data to events as they're ingested, so that relevant information is available throughout the event, alert, and incident lifecycle. By leveraging the Contextual Data Platform (CDP), you can define rules that extract values from events or query enrichment schemas to populate event fields.

The default Event Enrichment gets applied to every Event Orchestration or Service that is not already associated to any other Event Enrichment
