# Wire lifecycle

> Every wire transfer status and what moves it.

Wires cannot be canceled through the API once created.

Before submission, a wire can be `pending_approval`, `in_review`, `scheduled`,
or `pending`. It then becomes:

* `settled` after successful completion
* `failed` or `canceled` if it does not complete
* `returned` if the beneficiary bank later sends the funds back

Network identifiers appear as they become available: `wire.imad` and
`wire.omad`. Poll `GET /v2/transfers/wire/{transferId}` or use the webhook's
`entityId` to retrieve a Transaction, then follow its `transferId`.
