(Optional) Define a Platform Event

If you have a custom platform event defined in your Salesforce org that you want to use for the event relay, you can skip this step. You can also skip this step if you want to use the event relay with a change data capture event. Otherwise, follow the steps in this section to define an example platform event, Carbon_Comparison__e, which the event relay configuration steps use.
