description: "The `sendEvents()` instance method send multiple events that triggers any Jobs that are listening for those events (based on the name)."
---

You can call this function from anywhere in your backend to send multiple events. The other way to send multiple events is by using [io.sendEvents()](/sdk/io/sendevents) from inside a `run()` function.

Use [eventTrigger()](/sdk/eventtrigger) on a Job to listen for events.

For single events, use [client.sendEvent()](/sdk/triggerclient/instancemethods/sendevent) instead.

```ts Simple example with payloads
const event = client.sendEvents([
  {
    name: "new.user",
    payload: {
      userId: "u_12345",
    },
  },
  {
    name: "new.user",
    payload: {
      userId: "u_67890",
    },
  },
]);
```

```ts Send multiple events with an ID
const event = client.sendEvents([
  {
    id: "e_12345", // You can use this to deduplicate events
    name: "new.user",
    payload: {
      userId: "u_12345",
    },
  },
  {
    id: "e_67890", // You can use this to deduplicate events
    name: "new.user",
    payload: {
      userId: "u_67890",
    },
  },
]);
```

```ts Send multiple events to be delivered later
const event = client.sendEvents(
  [
    {
      id: "e_12345", // You can use this to deduplicate events
      name: "new.user",
      payload: {
        userId: "u_12345",
      },
    },
    {
      id: "e_67890", // You can use this to deduplicate events
      name: "new.user",
      payload: {
        userId: "u_67890",
      },
    },
  ],
  {
    deliverAt: new Date("2023-12-01T00:00:00.000Z"),
  }
