What is Segment?
Segment Connections uses sources and destinations. A source may be a website, mobile app, server library, or cloud application that supplies customer events. Destinations receive selected data for analytics, marketing, support, or storage. Tracking calls such as Identify and Track give the data a common structure, but teams must design the event schema and control where personal data goes.

SegmentData EngineeringCollect and route customer event data
Key capabilities
- Sources: collection points for website, app, server, or cloud-tool data.
- Tracking API: standard event and identity calls.
- Destinations: integrations that receive data for downstream use.
- Workspace controls: configuration of connected data flows.
Segment can reduce duplicated instrumentation when the same product event feeds several tools, provided the tracking schema is maintained. The source-to-destination model is documented in Twilio Segment's Connections guide, checked 27 September 2026. No integration count or automatic compliance claim is made.
