# Sources Overview

## What is a source?

All the events including user behavior events, pages visited, user properties, etc. are collected via a data source. These sources can be websites, apps, CRM, or any other source where the user data and/or events performed are collected. Since CDP collects and unifies the data obtained from different sources into one unique profile for each user, the more sources you add to your CDP the more enriched a customer profile is created in the same.

All the events coming from different sources can then be used to send to different [destinations](../destinations/destinations-overview) or run marketing automation use cases with those events.
