ProveSource Source
Good to know: Event Cloud source
The ProveSource Source is an event source. This means that it sends data as events, which are behaviors or occurrences tied to a user and a point in time. Data from these sources can be loaded into your Segment warehouses, and also sent to Segment streaming destinations. Learn more about cloud sources.
This source is supported in US data processing regions.
The Prove source is only supported in workspaces configured to process data in the US region. Workspaces configured with data processing regions outside of the US cannot connect to this source. For more information, see Regional Segment.
ProveSource is a social proof platform, that lets you show recent activities and reviews that happen on your website - signups, purchases, positive reviews and more, this helps build trust with your visitors and ultimately increases your conversions rates.
This source is maintained by ProveSource. For any issues with the source, contact the ProveSouce Support team.
This document is about a source which is in beta
This means that the ProveSource Source is in active development, and some functionality may change before it becomes generally available.
Getting Started
- From your Segment UI’s Sources page click on “Add Source”.
- Search for “ProveSource” within the Sources Catalog and confirm by clicking “Connect”.
- Give the Source a nickname and follow the set up flow to “Add Source”. The nickname will be used to designate the source in the Segment interface, and Segment will create a related schema name. The schema name is the namespace you’ll be querying against in your warehouse. The nickname can be whatever you like, but we recommend sticking to something that reflects the source itself and distinguishes amongst your environments (eg. SourceName_Prod, SourceName_Staging, SourceName_Dev).
- Copy the Write key from the Segment UI and log in to your ProveSource account - navigate to Settings > Integrations > Click Edit next to Segment Integration and paste the key to connect.

Below is a table of events that ProveSource sends to Segment. These events will show up as tables in your warehouse, and as regular events in your other Destinations. ProveSource will send through the userId if available.
| Notification Viewed | A notification has been viewed |
| Notification Hovered | The user hovered his mouse over the notification |
| Notification Clicked | The user clicked the notification |
