 Dapr automatically generates several CloudEvent properties. You can replace these generated CloudEvent properties by providing the following optional metadata key/value:
 
-- `cloudevent-id`: overrides `id`
-- `cloudevent-source`: overrides `source`
-- `cloudevent-type`: overrides `type`
-- `cloudevent-traceid`: overrides `traceid`
-- `cloudevent-tracestate`: overrides `tracestate`
-- `cloudevent-traceparent`: overrides `traceparent`
+- `cloudevent.id`: overrides `id`
+- `cloudevent.source`: overrides `source`
+- `cloudevent.type`: overrides `type`
+- `cloudevent.traceid`: overrides `traceid`
+- `cloudevent.tracestate`: overrides `tracestate`
+- `cloudevent.traceparent`: overrides `traceparent`
 
 The ability to replace CloudEvents properties using these metadata properties applies to all pub/sub components.
