## Payload

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| - | - | - | - |
| `email_id` | `string` | - | eml_… |
| `thread_id` | `string` | - | The conversation. |
| `domain_id` | `string \| null` | - | The domain it was sent from, or null when sent through a mailbox. |
| `mailbox_id` | `string \| null` | - | The mailbox it was sent through, or null when sent from a domain. |

| `url` | `string` | - | The destination that was clicked. |

## Handling it

A click is a real human action in a way an open is not, so this is the event to attribute against. Security scanners do visit links before the recipient does, though — if the click arrives within a second or two of delivery, treat it with suspicion.
