# Messages

## What Are Messages?

A message is the payload that your application will send to HostedHooks via the API when an event gets triggered. 

A message payload will look something like this:

```javascript
{ 
    "version" : "1.0", 
    "event_type": "user.created", 
    "event_id": "12323124151",
    "data": { 
        "foo": "bar" 
    } 
}

```

The Message has the following parameters:

* Version
* Event Type
* Event ID
* Data
