Manage CloudStream connectors

How it works

A connector is an integration that transmits data between Tealium and another vendor in real-time. A connector offers actions that represent vendor-supported APIs. An action is triggered in real-time by an incoming data record. An action sends data based on mappings that associate cloud attributes to the expected vendor parameters.

Segment data is not persisted or stored in Tealium systems. After retrieving the data and sending it to configured connectors, Tealium discards it.

For more about connectors, see About connectors.

To enable CloudStream connectors, go to Admin menu > Server-Side Settings > CloudStream Connectors, set Activate CloudStream Connectors to On, and click Save.

Add a connector

To configure a connector, use the following steps:

1. Click + New Connector. The Connector Marketplace is displayed.

3. Configure the connector as needed and click Done & New Action. For more information, see Add a connector and refer to the setup guide for the selected connector.
