Full example of schema.org/ReceiveAction json-ld markup

The markup is verified as valid with Rich Results Test from Google.

schema.org/ReceiveAction

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "ReceiveAction",
  "agent": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Dr Henrik Lund" },
  "sender": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Xoo Code" },
  "object": { "@type": "Book", "name": "Xoo Code Handbook v3" },
  "deliveryMethod": "https://schema.org/ParcelService"
}
</script>

Minimal valid version

The smallest markup that still produces a valid ReceiveAction entity. Use it as the floor. Reach for the advanced example above when you want search engines and AI agents to understand more about your content.

schema.org/ReceiveAction (minimal)

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "ReceiveAction",
  "sender": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Sender" }
}
</script>

Google rich results this unlocks

ReceiveAction is a structural type. It does not produce a rich result on its own.

Its value comes from combining it with a primary type whose markup earns a rich result (Article, Product, Event, and so on). ReceiveAction becomes the trunk that the primary type branches off viamainEntityorbreadcrumb. Include it on every page as the backbone of your markup.

Common ReceiveAction mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

01
Using SendAction from the receiver's perspective
Wrong
```
SendAction with agent = receiver
```
Right
```
ReceiveAction for the receiving side
```
Send and Receive are mirror verbs; pick based on the agent's role.
