type: Webhooks
delivery: >-
  OpenPages does not ship a native AsyncAPI document. Instead it forwards
  notifications of in-app events to a connected IBM Cloud Event Notifications
  instance, which fans them out to supported destinations (currently email;
  other destinations such as webhooks/SMS are configured in Event Notifications).
  Events follow the CloudEvents v1.0 specification.
event_model: >-
  OpenPages uses a simplified event model where all alert notifications are sent
  using a single CloudEvents event type. Differentiation between notification
  kinds happens at the content level inside the event payload.

  note: >-
    Each OpenPages instance forwards to a single Event Notifications instance in
    the same account; one Event Notifications instance can receive from many
    OpenPages instances. Supported EN regions depend on the OpenPages instance
    region.
