Body Parameters

​
name
string
required
The name of the event. Used to match events to automation triggers.
The event name can be any string (e.g., user.created, welcome, my-custom-event). Dot notation is a recommended convention but is not required. If multiple enabled automations use the same event name, all of them will be triggered. Use unique event names if you want to target a specific automation.
Event names cannot start with the resend: prefix, which is reserved for system events.
​
schema
object
An optional schema definition for the event payload. Must be an object with flat key/type pairs. Supported types: string, number, boolean, date.
