    "channel":"user-activity",
    "event":"User Sign-In",
    "description":"User ID 12345 has signed in."
    ,"icon":"🔐",
    "notify":true
  }
  """
val body = RequestBody.create(mediaType, jsonPayload)

val apiUrl = "https://api.saashound.co/log-event"

val request = Request.Builder()
    .url(apiUrl)
    .post(body)
    .addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")

    .addHeader("Authorization", "Bearer API_TOKEN")
    .build()

client.newCall(request).execute().use { response ->
    if (response.isSuccessful) {
        println("Log event sent successfully!")
    } else {
        println("Failed to send log event. Response code: ${response.code}")
