Why is sending only the $id when creating an Event not documented?

@KeviSunshine any update on this topic? Is this a feature of the API that is supposed to exist, and can it be added to the documentation?

Why is sending only the $id when creating an Event not documented?

 Ah sorry I should have used “External ID” as the keyword in my original post - I found that I can pass just an external identifier in the `$id` field of the `profile` part of the request body, and this will set the external ID on the profile. Example request:{  "data": {    "type": "event",    "attributes": {      "profile": {        "$id": "{externalID}"      },      "metric": {        "name": "{event name}"      }    }  }}This will then create a new profile (with some Klaviyo Profile ID that gets set), and put the string I put in `$id` as the external ID of that profile. Example: In this example, I sent `$id` as `”c06b1996-d2fb-45a7-a834-8882a9f2f842”` I also found that if I send this on an event where I send the email of an existing profile, this will reset the External ID on the profile matching that email. It would be great if both of these are documented features of the API, so that I can confirm that I can build our integration with these assumptions in mind.
