Creating events

Send events to Project-scoped Channels with metadata and attribution.

client.events.create() takes a Channel name and a title, with an optional description, icon, tags, source, user attribution, notify flag, and JSON metadata.

await client.events.create({
  channelName: 'signups',
  title: 'New user signed up',
  userId: 'user_123',
  tags: ['signup'],
  metadata: { plan: 'free', source: 'organic' },
});

Channel names are normalized and unique within the Project bound to the API key. The Channel is created on first use.

userId can be your canonical user ID or one of its aliases; EmitKit resolves an alias when it records the event. notify (default true) sends a push notification. A stored event is limited to 16 KB across its fields.

For the complete schema, see the Create Event reference.
