# io.sendEvents()

> `io.sendEvents()` allows you to send multiple events from inside a Job run. The sent events will trigger any Jobs that are listening for those events (based on the name).

If you want to send multiple events from outside a run (e.g. just from your backend) you should use [client.sendEvents()](/sdk/triggerclient/instancemethods/sendevents) instead.

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

For single events, use [io.sendEvent()](/sdk/io/sendevent) instead.

## Returns

  ```ts Send multiple events
  //this Job sends multiple events that triggers the second job

    id: "job-1",
    name: "First job",
    version: "0.0.1",
    trigger: cronTrigger({
      cron: "0 9 * * *", // 9am every day (UTC)
    }),
    run: async (payload, io, ctx) => {
      //sends "new.user" events with a userId in the payload
      await io.sendEvents("send-events", [
        {
          name: "new.user",
