# TriggerClient: sendEvents() instance method

> 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"),
