Send an event

Send an event to the app it belongs to. Sluice answers as soon as the event is stored, before any delivery happens, so the call is fast even when a customer's server is slow.

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"type": "invoice.paid", "payload": {"invoice": "inv_8841"}}'

Limits

Sending the same event twice by accident is the most common mistake. Add an idempotency key to every request.
