## Supported payload types

Each destination type has specific schema structures tailored to its payload types. For PagerDuty, the payload type is **Triggered.**

| Payload type  | `payload_type` API value | Description                                                           |
| ------------- | ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Triggered** | `triggered`              | Enables customization of the payload for trigger events in PagerDuty. |
