# Create a thread event

<Info>
  A thread event will only be created in the thread ID provided. If you want an event to appear in
  all threads for a customer please use a [customer
  event](/api-reference/graphql/events/create-customer-event).
</Info>

To create a thread event you need a thread ID.

You can get this by [creating a thread](/api-reference/graphql/threads/create) in Plain, from data in webhooks or other API calls you made. If you want to test this, press **⌘ + K** on any thread and then "Copy thread ID" to get an ID you can experiment with.

In this example we'll be creating the following event:

    For this you'll need an API key with the following permissions:

    * `threadEvent:create`
    * `threadEvent:read`
    * `thread:read`
    * `customer:read`

    <Snippet file="typescript-sdk/create-thread-event.mdx" />

    Which would console.log:

    <Snippet file="typescript-sdk/create-thread-event-response.mdx" />
