Pusher websocket URL triggering events and sending data

[sushilsth]

I am trying to trigger events and send data to websocket URL on the specific public channel. I am currently testing in postman. I am able to connect to websocket URL and subscribe to the channel but cannot trigger events and send data to the event.

Here is what I have tried. I can connect to websocket URL and subscribe to the channel as screenshot below.

Now when I try to trigger event and send data, it throw the error as marked in screenshot below. Here is the error in pusher response Unsupported event received on socket: my-event"

As per the official docs of pusher https://pusher.com/docs/channels/library_auth_reference/pusher-websockets-protocol/#channel-events-pusher-channels-greater-client,

This should be the correct way to trigger events but it is not working. Can anyone help me with this?

Thank you

The docs you link to show the format of the event as sent from our service to a client. To trigger an event we have an API endpoint - https://pusher.com/docs/channels/library_auth_reference/rest-api/#post-event-trigger-an-event.

You may also be able to send an event with your current approach by prefixing the event name with client-. Client events are events sent directly from a client. https://pusher.com/docs/channels/using_channels/events/#triggering-client-events
