Add sources and destinations

Amplitude Data makes it easy for you to add and configure new sources for your Amplitude data, as well as set up third-party platforms as data export destinations. 

In this article, we'll explain how to set up individual sources and destinations. Keep in mind that each one will have its own unique configuration requirements. Fortunately, our Help Center includes documentation for many of the sources and destinations most commonly used by Amplitude users.

You can access data sources and data destinations from the Connections section of the left-hand rail.

NOTE: If you don’t see any sources or destinations listed, or the ones you do see listed are wrong, make sure the environment you’re in is mapped to the correct Amplitude project.

Add a data source

To add a new data source, follow these steps:

1. In the left-hand rail, click Catalog.

2. Look for the tile of the source you want to add, When you find it, click it.

3. At this point, the specifics of what you’ll see on the screen depend on the source. In some cases, you will be redirected to log into your source account. In others, you’ll see a set of instructions on the source’s Setup Connection tab:
   
   
   
   Just follow the instructions you see on the screen to complete the setup process for your data source.

NOTE: For more information on setting up and configuring individual data sources, see our documentation on importing data via third-party integrations and ingesting data via SDKs and APIs.
