## Body Parameters

string

required

The name of the event. Used to match events to automation triggers.

:::callout{intent="note"}
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.
:::

:::callout{intent="warning"}
Event names cannot start with the `resend:` prefix, which is reserved for system events.
:::

object

An optional schema definition for the event payload. Must be an object with flat key/type pairs. Supported types: `string`, `number`, `boolean`, `date`.
