What is a Data Source?
A data source is the origin of the information your system uses. It can be any system, platform, or file where your data comes from.
Common examples include:
-
Websites or CMS platforms (e.g., WordPress, Shopify)
-
CRM systems (e.g., Zoho CRM, Salesforce)
-
Spreadsheets or databases
-
Marketing tools (e.g., Google Ads, Mailchimp)
In integrations, selecting a data source means telling the system where to pull data from — for example, to sync contacts, track users, or trigger workflows.
