  payload = {
    project: 'my-project',
    channel: 'user-activity',
    event: 'User Email Change',
    description: 'User with ID 12345 changed their email address to 'newemail@example.com'.',
    icon: '📧',
    notify: true
  }

  headers = {
    'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
    'Authorization' => 'Bearer API_TOKEN'  # Replace API_TOKEN with your actual API token
  }

  http = Net::HTTP.new(api_url.host, api_url.port)
  http.use_ssl = true

  request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(api_url.path, headers)
  request.body = payload.to_json

  response = http.request(request)

  if response.code.to_i >= 200 && response.code.to_i < 300
    puts 'Log event sent successfully!'
