# Event Types

You can create event streams that listen for different types of events, such as the creation of a new user profile. The sections below outline specific details for currently supported event types.

## Event object

Events are published using a schema that conforms to the [CloudEvent specification](https://cloudevents.io/):

| Parameter   | Type          | Required | Description                                                                                |
| ----------- | ------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| id          | string        | Yes      | Identifies the event.                                                                      |
| source      | URI-reference | Yes      | Identifies the tenant that generated the event, including its environment.                 |
| specversion | string        | Yes      | The version of the CloudEvents specification that the event uses.                          |
| type        | string        | Yes      | The type of event.                                                                         |
| time        | timestamp     | Yes      | Timestamp of when the event happened.                                                      |
| dataschema  | URI           | Yes      | Identifies the schema that data adheres to.                                                |
| data        | object        | Yes      | Additional information related to the event. This field varies based on the type of event. |
