Inngest Events

Master Inngest event design and delivery patterns. Events are the foundation of Inngest - learn to design robust event schemas, implement idempotency, leverage fan-out patterns, and handle system events effectively.

These skills are focused on TypeScript. For Python or Go, refer to the Inngest documentation for language-specific guidance. Core concepts apply across all languages.

Event Payload Format

Every Inngest event is a JSON object with required and optional properties:

Required Properties

type Event = {
  name: string; // Event type (triggers functions)
  data: object; // Payload data (any nested JSON)
};
