Custom Events API

Capture events from any source and send them to Velvet.

Add a new Velvet source

Follow the steps to set up a new Velvet source.

1. Tap into a workspace in your Velvet dashboard
2. Navigate to "Data sources"
3. Tap "Add a data source"
4. Name your source
5. Copy the webhook link

Add a data source.

Name your data source.

Copy the webhook link.

Send custom webhooks

Provide a JSON body representing the event you're sending to the API. It can have any structure or format:

{
    "key": "value"
}	

Provide a source ID and event JSON when you make a request to the Events API. Include the Velvet webhook link you created from the first step to capture events.

curl --request POST \
     --url https://www.usevelvet.com/api/events/my_source_id \
     --header 'Velvet-Org: org_abcde12345' \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '
{
  "event": {
    "key": "value"
  }
}
'

From this point on, we’ll create a queue of events you send from this source. Query them in your Velvet workspace.
