Event structure

All events delivered through our webhook system follow the CloudEvents specification, an industry standard for describing event data in a consistent and interoperable way.

Each event includes:

Event property	Description
id	A unique identifier for the event
source	a value indicating where the event comes from, i.e. https://api.futureordering.com
type	The event type, e.g. com.futureordering.order.created
specversion	The CloudEvents specification version, e.g. 1.0
time	Timestamp when the event occurred
dataContentType	The media type of the event payload, i.e. application/json
data	The actual event data payload, such as information about what has happened and to whom

Example: JSON event structure as sent to subscribers
