Marks an event that can be matched against a configured email trigger and used to drive the platform's trigger-based automation, such as sending an email or updating a funnel. Implementations represent the many kinds of significant occurrences that happen on the server, for example an enrolment, a payment, a new comment, a vote, or a subscription change. The interface extends Milton's Event so instances can be raised through the normal event bus. Trigger matching is done using the event id together with up to five generic trigger item values, which are typically ids of objects relevant to the event, and listeners may add extra data to the attributes map for use when rendering the resulting email.

Properties
| Property | Returns | Description |
|---|---|---|
| attributes | Map<String,Object> | Extra properties associated with this event, made available to trigger processing and email rendering in addition to the trigger item values. |
| eventId | String | Identifies the type of this event in a form that is stable and safe to persist, used to match this event against the event id configured on an EmailTrigger. |
| sourceProfile | Profile | The profile whose action caused the event, where applicable. |
| triggerItem1 | String | A generic string value, usually an id, that a configured trigger condition can be matched against. The meaning of this value is defined by each event implementation, and it may be null if the implementation does not use this slot. |
| triggerItem2 | String | A generic string value, usually an id, that a configured trigger condition can be matched against. The meaning of this value is defined by each event implementation, and it may be null if the implementation does not use this slot. |
| triggerItem3 | String | A generic string value, usually an id, that a configured trigger condition can be matched against. The meaning of this value is defined by each event implementation, and it may be null if the implementation does not use this slot. |
| triggerItem4 | String | A generic string value, usually an id, that a configured trigger condition can be matched against. The meaning of this value is defined by each event implementation, and it may be null if the implementation does not use this slot. |
| triggerItem5 | String | A generic string value, usually an id, that a configured trigger condition can be matched against. The meaning of this value is defined by each event implementation, and it may be null if the implementation does not use this slot. |
| website | Website | The website which is the logical owner of the source of the event, used to scope trigger matching to a particular site. |
