Faster Insights with Custom Dashboards for Twilio Segment Sources

This week we launched Segment Sources — a new way to bring together all of your customer touch points into a single database.

By Sarah Spangenberg

This week we launched Segment Sources — a new way to bring together all of your customer touch points into a single database. More than 11,000 developers and analysts already rely on Segment to help load data from their websites and mobile apps into their data warehouse for advanced analysis. Now you can add in brand new dimensions of the customer experience that happen outside of your product in other cloud services like sales calls, support tickets, texts, payments and more.

But bringing all of your data into one place is only the first part of the story. The next step is exploring your data to answer important questions about your business. Connecting these apps — Salesforce, Zendesk, Mandrill, Stripe and more — to your database with Segment Sources opens up new possibilities for analysis and understanding the complete customer experience.

Query Quicker

To help you get your insights faster, we’ve built some getting started queries and detailed documentation around Sources schemas. However, we’re most excited to announce new offerings from our business intelligence partners to help you explore and visualize this data.

The fine folks at BIMEMode, Looker, Periscope, and Chartio have built useful, new resources to help you analyze your Sources data. Take a look their offerings below, so you can start answering new questions about your customers as quickly as possible.
