Add an event type

  1. Open Event types in the menu and select + Add event.
  2. Enter a Name. We recommend lowercase words separated by dots (e.g. invoice.paid).
  3. Optionally enter a Description, then select Add.

Registered event types can be chosen in an endpoint’s Events and in Send test. Names must be unique. Register them separately in live and test.

Edit the description

  1. Select Edit on the event type.
  2. Change the Description and select Save. You can also leave it empty.

Names cannot be changed. To rename, add a new event type and archive the old one.

Archive or unarchive

  1. Select Archive on the event type.
  2. Select Archive in the confirmation dialog. The status changes to Archived.
  • Archived event types no longer appear as choices when adding an endpoint or in the customer portal.
  • Messages of this type are still sent, and endpoints that already selected it still receive them. The endpoint’s Events tab marks it Archived.
  • To undo, select Unarchive in the list.

Note

Edit, Archive and Unarchive are shown only to Admin or higher. Event types cannot be deleted.
